How many cartons of cigarettes can I order?
The maximum number of cartons that can be ordered depends on the brand you want to order. Due to PACT ACT restrictions, packages can weigh no more than 10lbs. Since the weight varies from brand to brand, only by placing the items in the cart and/or calling customer service at 1-866-247-2447 can the number of cartons actually be determined.

An eCheck is an electronic transfer of funds in which the money is taken from your bank account, typically a checking account. The account's routing number and account number are entered on our payment page and used to draw funds from the account. By placing an order using the eCheck option you authorize Smokes-Spitits.com to access your bank account and withdraw funds electronically. On your first order you must sign and date the authorization form that is shown at the end of your order and send a copy to us. In the event of a returned eCheck for any reason a $15.00 debit will be added to your account. We will use any means possible to attempt to collect a debit from a retuned eCheck.

It’s like having your own personal account with us, allowing you the freedom to shop with us without having to remember which credit card you would like to use, what those annoying 3 or 4 digit security numbers are on your card, especially if you don’t always carry those credit cards on you when you decide to place an order.
