As much I I enjoy a good conspiracy theory, they bank probably was sincerely trying to protect you. I had my card frozen for a purchase once (nothing to do with tobacco, I think it was for a washing machine or fridge or something). The item was fairly expensive. When I spoke to the bank, they said that the item was something frequently bought with stolen cards as it was high value and easy to sell on, or along those lines. I suspect that tobacco products are another target for card thieves for similar reasons.

This is very common with some banks. Tobacco? Try buying guns / gun accessories and see what happens!
I don't know if you are paranoid or not; however, this song seems to fit the mood of this thread. Enjoy:
Same experience. Case of poorly written software and lack of human attention- or semi intelligent human attention.
It's here and has been for some time. We're just finally seeing it as it evolves.
The pot feels warm until it's too hot to jump out.
Yep. Heard about this one weeks ago. It's absurd.
Unless you unearth a second factor that would suggest some malicious intent, I'd use the concept that the simplest explanation is the most probable, simple human incompetency -- today often induced by technological malfunction originating in human incompetency.

This is 100% true. I've done much research on tobacco health benefits, and even have a small telegram page where I list the health benefits of tobacco. Another benefit is a 30% increase in free testosterone. In the soy war, that's a big "red flag".
Virtually every adult (and most kids) has a cell phone and they get inside of a car each day with connectivity and engine computer memory that between the two can be used to plot their every movement.
And then there’s security cameras.

The report by Safety.com finds that surveillance technology is spreading to every corner of the globe. Studies estimate there will be around one billion security cameras filming worldwide by 2021. Between 10 and 18 percent of those devices will be in the United States.

Instead of cash, the use of plastic money also leaves a trail, all our mail is tracked, and our internet searches and clicks and even these posts, can be monitored.
What saves us, is for most of us our everyday lives are so boring, nobody cares.

The mom was an attorney and member of a law firm suing the Rockettes.
For obvious reasons the Rockettes don’t want lawyers poking around on their private property.
But New York should revise their public accommodations law. Have a show, sell tickets, you must sell to all members of the public, and they must behave themselves during the show, or get the boot.
But there might be exemptions. What about the church having Friday night Bingo and Mothers Against Drunk Driving want to crash the show?
What if it’s Ru Paul’s Drag Race and the church mothers against drag queens want to crash the show?
These matters aren’t so simple as they appear, on the surface.
Remember when PayPal held up or just didn't disperse the money sent to the Canadian truckers? I do. PayPal is not your friend. This kind of activity is just the prelude of what CBDC is going to be. And you can call me a CT it won't hurt my feelings.
Very few things are as simple as they are presented by any popular media. We are under a constant onslaught of snooping and messaging based on that snooping.
