Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario
- Thread starter MaukaMan

I hear that, though the foot traffic would be great in Oahu I was thinking it might be cheaper to set up in Lahaina since hopefully once it was known that we could send parcels to the other Islands that might be what keeps the shop afloat.
It's spreading. Blue states are chopping at our freedoms one small thing like at a time.
All because they of course always know what's best for us.

you will own nothing and be happy, you will eat zee bugz
Thank you for all this information. It's been a minute since I was there and we lived up country, and I would want to serve the locals and the whole endeavor would only work if we could ship tobacco to all the Islands from the storefront.

Some of the most restrictive tobacco states are red. It’s not a party issue. Look at Utah and South Dakota for example.
I see your point but rather than a "we know what's best for you" mentality the red states are more like " we know what's best for us" Again I have no problem at all with people voting not environmental lobbyists forcing for no online tobacco coming in, it's the P2P that seems outrageous.
Even that I don’t think Is accurate. If my understanding is correct, Utahs policies are heavily driven by the large Mormon population which is very anti tobacco. So there’s a conservative state enforcing policy around an ideology.
At the end of the day, all sides are fighting against tobacco for some reason or another.
Mormon influence is definitely seen in the alcohol laws in Utah. I wouldn’t be surprised if that influenced the tobacco laws. This is less of a conservative legislation, albeit in a conservative state.
Is it illegal to knowingly ship to Hawaii? If not, you might want to give an address and wish list in case we want to visit, and if you got a package in the mail you might want to reimburse us for our troubles if we just can't make it to Hawaii. Just sayin.....
It’s not illegal for the sender, just for the receiver to knowingly recieve.
Well, I may want to visit you in Hawaii and send ahead a housewarming present..... You may be thinking of visiting Wisconsin some day and want to send something back?
I will say we are entirely free to ship tobacco out of Hawai’i.
Now, if you can figure out how to send your weather here for a weekend day in January....
How does “return to sender” mail work then.
I think that may fall under, not knowingly
Sounds like it’s time to make it rain on our good brothers in Hawaii.
Yeah. Sounds good to me! As long as parcels could be sent within the state, I think it's a great plan. Lahaina has plenty of tourist traffic with all the hotels on the west side and locals alike too. If you need any boots on the ground, I'd be happy to help you. A B&M would be great for the pipe smoking community out here.
