Many states have seen
a spike in Internet sales shortly after an increase in tobacco taxes, said Ali
Davoudi, president of Cigarettes
Store and the Online
Tobacco Retailers Association. It's too early to determine whether that is
happening in Georgia, he said.
About 400 dute free cigarettes currently
are operating on the Internet, said Davoudi. They have names like
Dirtcheapcigs.com and
Silvercloudsmokeshop.com. Many, such as the Alllegany
Indian Reservation's Redjackettobacco.com, are operated by federally recognized
American Indian tribes.
Some lawmakers have
worried that online cigarettes retailers
sell their products to underage smokers. But Davoudi says his company pays an
extra $2.75 per order for UPS to obtain a 21-year-old's signature upon
delivery.
"The average buyer of
cigarettes online is a
52-year-old woman. It's not kids," Davoudi said. "Inherent in our business model
is the fact that we only sell by the carton and most kids don't have that kind
of disposable income. And you have to have a credit card to place the
order."
The higher tobacco
taxes in Georgia could create a boon for black-market cigarettes in Cigarettes Storeand online, Davoudi
and Rich said.
As an experiment,
Brown & Williamson employees Tim Galoppa and Pat Moore recently ordered two
cartons from an online site. One carton was fine, but Moore said the other was
marked "for export Ð to be sold outside the U.S. only."
"There are some
things on the Internet that are legit, but that cigarettes had to be a
black-market product," Moore said.
