The end is near for NicotineRush.com

The ‘Anti Tobacco Nazi’s’ have won again.** NicotineRush.com will be suspending orders to our US customers soon. Currently, we are not restocking any product. It is suggested that you stock up now. Orders will be shipped as quickly as possible.** As many of you already know, our congressional leaders, (dubious distinction if you ask me), have passed a new law called the PACT Act. This new law makes it illegal to sell tobacco products via online, mailorder, and phone orders. It is also now against the law to ship tobacco to private consumers in the US. Penalties are severe. The law is being challenged in the courts, but, so far, the outcome is unknown. Interim court orders have not been favorable. International customers are welcome to place orders as long as supplies last. SnuffGear.com & KannaSnuff.com will remain open. SnuffGear.com: Snuff & Tobacco accessories KannaSnuff.com: Kanna – Kratom – Kava Kava – Peruvian Torch & San Pedro Cactus I’d like to thank all my customers for their continued support. Without you, NicotineRush would never have been the great success it is. Tom

So are you in Florida or the UK? how is Mr.Snuff getting around this?

Tom - I cannot begin to express my thoughts. I thought it would be possible to deal with Pact one way or another. This is a sadness for us all. You will always have our gratitude, and remain Two day Tom.

I am sorry to hear this, and wish you, Tom, all the best in your future, and success with your other sites. It is sad that we have a government which is the enemy of it’s own citizens. But I do question this statement you wrote, “This new law makes it illegal to sell tobacco products via online, mailorder, and phone orders. It is also now against the law to ship tobacco to private consumers in the US.” Because Getsnus is legally doing this. Now if your issue is not having the FDA approved items, and ability or desire to do the state tax collections, I would fully understand.

This is the worst news I’ve heard since I started snuffing, Tom you will be greatly missed.

Didn’t like to see you post that, Tom. I wish you success in any other project you begin!.Thanks for all the business, buddy. You ran yours well.

I honestly refuse to believe this is the end of nicotinerush until I see the site taken down. You can’t close your doors, Tom. Other sites get around it, and I’m sure you can too. It’s too great a site to go under. ~Ken

@tom502 They are using UPS to ship. UPS will still ship everything but cigarettes. I don’t understand how they are dealing with state/county/city tobacco taxes that the new law requires we pay BEFORE a package ships. I’m assuming they are labeling, on the outside of the package, what’s inside, ie ‘tobacco products’ , another requirement. Also, delivery is restricted to someone of the correct age. My explanation above was certainly simplified for the sake of brevity. If the courts decide that the tax situation is unconstitutional, I’ll certainly take a hard look at reviving Nic Rush.

I actualy like the ups shiping of my snus. Although it cost more the tracking is way more accurate and it seems like you can make arrangements with them about what time they deliver it. At least it looks like that. And honestly when making a larger order it doesn’t seem to be as much of a bigger expense. Might be something to look into. Might be worth asking someone at the northerner or getsnus how they are doing the taxes? They may be friendly and the worst thing they could do is be rude. I don’t like when anyone who does a good job lose it for reasons that are stupid.

Tom…I am so sorry. It seems that capitalism has been viewed unfavorably for the past 100 years. You were an excellent salesman to me. I hope to purchase other things from you, in the future.

Tom, as a new US snuffer, I’ve only ordered accessories from you, but your products, prices and service are second to none. It’s a sad day when a vendor is forced out of business because of irrational prejudice against intelligent tobacco use, especially a vendor of your caliber. Hopefully judges who believe in the preservation of civil liberties and who oppose the creeping Big Brotherism that is taking over will strike down this insane PACT law, and you will be able to do business once again. Best wishes to you.

Thanks Tom. Yeah, I have ordered from getsnus recently, and their cans are covered with stickers, UPS, and signature required, with ID. Their website adds up the state taxes.

Tom you are the best. This is sad news my friend. There is only one word to describe this unfortunate situation… F**K! The bakdoor is closing. :frowning:

even tho i am fairly new to snuff i managed to place 2 orders with tom before the pact and i couldn’t be happier with the service, not to mention the fast delivery and all that…even after the pact i was kinda hoping Tom will find a way around all this so i won’t have to order from UK; thank god toque and mr. snuff still deliver (and i hope they will for a long time) or else i will be stuck with ozona president and orange from my local tobacco shop… IMHO Snuff should never be put in the same category as cigarettes or dip…

Very, very sad. How it came to be is the second worse thing about it.

This is sad news!! Just remember where there is a will there is a way. I would say just dont tell them whats inside the box or say gift or something like that

The indonesians have been selling clove cigarettes to people in the US by labeling the packages as “gift” ever since the ban.

Tom, I visited your site and ordered my first sampler of Poschls before I even discovered Snuffhouse. The excellent website and the variety of snuffs offered, as well as your obvious enthusiasm for the world of snuff were a key element in bringing me into this hobby, lifestyle, call it what you will. You will always have my gratitude and respect. Best wishes for the future.

Once again the government find another position to F*** us in.

Sad to see this happen Tom. I’ve sent a couple people your way to stock up before the whole thing gets shuttered. If I had the cash, I’d throw in an order myself. Good luck, hope NicotineRush can rise from the dead.
