They should not have taken your money because the law was already in affect on July 8th.
On March 31st 2010, Obama signed the S.1147:PACT Act legislation into law which prohibits the delivery of Cigarettes, Rolling Tobacco and Smokeless Tobacco through Internet Sales, Mail Order or Telephone to you. This new law went into effect on June 29 2010.
Call your bank and dispute the charge. It was illegal for them to sell cartons of cigarettes on July 8th
FYI, We make our own cigarettes and everyone who "borrows" one think they are Marlboros. A bag of tobacco from my local discount cigarette store makes 2 and 1/2 cartons and costs 16.99. A box of 200 light filtered tubes cost $1.99 so I buy 3 boxes every other time. It costs a bit over $22.00 for 2 cartons plus 5 packs and it only takes about 5 minutes to make a pack.
