"The JAMA report shows exactly online cigarettes why we need to institute our own strict standards now throughout the entire online tobacco community," said Ali Davoudi, president of the Online buy cigarettes Tobacco Retailers Association (OLTRA). "Action has already been taken against the industry in some states. We offer a reasonable alternative to prohibition that can protect children from purchasing cigarettes online while also respecting the rights of adult smokers to have the freedom to purchase the tobacco brand of their choice cheap cigarettes discount."
