What does the PACT Act of 2009 prohibit?

Mailing alcoholic beverages
Mailing firearms
Mailing chewing tobacco and cigarettes
Mailing prescription drugs

The correct answer is: Mailing chewing tobacco and cigarettes

The PACT Act (Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act) of 2009 specifically addresses the regulation of the sale and distribution of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products through the mail. This act was established to combat the illegal trafficking of such tobacco products, especially focusing on ensuring that these items are not sent across state lines without proper taxation and regulation as required by law. Under this act, it is prohibited to mail cigarettes and other tobacco products to individuals who are not licensed to sell tobacco. This measure aims to prevent minors from accessing tobacco products through online means and to ensure that states can effectively enforce their own tobacco laws, including tax collection. Therefore, the correct answer regarding what the PACT Act of 2009 prohibits is the mailing of chewing tobacco and cigarettes. The other options, while they involve regulated items, are not directly addressed by the PACT Act of 2009 in the same context. For example, mailing prescription drugs is regulated under different laws, while regulations around firearms and alcoholic beverages fall under separate legal frameworks.
