My husbands cousin just arrived in Iraq for his second tour. I mailed him his first box today and put 2cans of chewing tobacco in it, and listed it on the export paperwork. I havent sent my anysoldier contact tobacco products, they need hygiene items so badly due to a understocked PX that Ive never considered it, and can you image smoking a cigar that has been in the box with deodorant for two weeks? Anyway the mail clerk got out this book and looked up the APO zip code to see if it is prohibited. I didnt know that tobacco is restricted in some areas. Luckily his isnt and I didnt need to open the box and remove it. Has anyone else experienced this?

My goodness, give our boys a break!!  It may be bad for their health but there is worse things like... umm..

Being Shot AT!
