Lawmakers are seeking to reverse the Obama administration’s ban on sending cigars to American service members stationed overseas, questioning the logic behind a regulation that appears to be aimed at “protecting them from themselves.”

“All the free cigars that manufacturers send to troops overseas, they can’t do that anymore, because it’s a health hazard,” Florida Rep. Bill Posey noted in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “So we have our young men and women in uniform, in war, where they can be killed or maimed, but it’s too dangerous for them to enjoy the simple pleasures of a premium cigar.”
