yeah I saw that on another post… and did look it up myself, in the US they can be sold, but legally they cannot include the word cigarette anywhere in the labeling or packaging, on amazon they do indeed put it in the title of the listing, which is against the law, but not particularly well enforced, the packages themselves though you can also see clearly they don’t use the word cigarette for exactly that reason.

Amazon sells a lot of illegal shit. That doesn’t mean it’s okay; that just means law enforcement isn’t doing its goddamn job.
