Stuff like this is a no brainer. Yea I know smoking is real bad for you but Afghanistan is even worse for ones health. They can quit when and if they get home.
Somebody take charge of this and let family members send these troops cigs. I happen to know how tense and irritable you can get without the nicotine.
Family and friends have suddenly found themselves blocked from shipping cigarettes and other tobacco products to American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq because of a new law meant to hamper smuggling and underage sales through the mail.
There is something really "WTF?!?" about taking cigarettes away from people in a place where they dodge bullets all day because we're worried about "their health."

Home run Jolly Roger. Your last sentance has so much truth in it and indicates at least to me how screwed we really are.
