So yesterday I received an e-mail from my senior leadership that says "Soldiers will no longer be authorized to have family members send them cigarettes or smokeless tobacco." Immediately I said "WTF?" and had to do some research on my own. Comes to find out that the government passed a new law that restricts the shipment of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to locations overseas to include to Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
