Marty Meehan believes its time Internet cigarette sellers require more than two simple clicks of a keyboard to verify a customer's age.
Alarmed by the ease children can order tobacco products through online vendors, Meehan has drafted a bill in cooperation with Republican U.S. Rep. James Hansen of Utah that requires both retailers and delivery services to verify the age of recipients before handing over the smokes.
Meehan, a Lowell Democrat, said he would file the bill today when he arrives for the lame-duck congressional session.

"It's simple for kids to buy tobacco online," Meehan said. "Every day 4,000 kids try cigarettes and 2,000 become regular smokers, a third of whom will die from the addiction. It makes sense we regulate this market."
Under the soon-to-be introduced bill, Internet sellers would be required to check the name and age of prospective buyers against a database containing their government I.D.'s, such as driver's license. It would also add an additional layer of protection by requiring a second identification check and signature verification at the point-of-sale.

In-person cigarette purchases already require young customers to prove they are at least 18 years old.
The bill stands little chance of attracting serious attention from lawmakers as they return for a chaotic, lame-duck session that has more pressing pieces of legislation, including the creation of a Homeland Security Department, terrorism insurance and 11 remaining spending bills. But Meehan said it's imperative to have the pieces of legislation in the pipeline for when the new Congress begins work in January.
He said the bipartisan effort he formed with Hansen to author the legislation will give the bill a better chance to pass next year, and it may be a sign of how Democrats conduct business in the Republican-controlled 108th Congress set to begin in January.

"It's clear to me in the new Congress that we have to have bipartisan (alliances) to get items passed," Meehan said.
In recent months, Meehan and Hansen have worked to build support for the proposal. The American Cancer Society, the Campaign for Tobacco-free Kids, and the American Heart and Lung associations endorse the regulation of online tobacco sales.
Meehan, in working with Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas Reilly, brought attention to the issue this summer by arranging a sting operation with a 17-year-old who was able to purchase and receive cigarettes from online retailers this summer.

Meehan arranged a similar sting in 1999.
Later this week, Meehan is expected to file another piece of legislation that calls for expanding government loans for daycare centers. The bill would be the same as one previously filed by Sen. John Kerry in the Senate.
