Good morning, 

I hope this could help you

1 ) there was 167 online cigarette vendors in 2002 in the United
States.
You can read in this article at : 

http://www.nacsonline.com/NACS/News/Daily_News_Archives/April2003/nd0430033.htm
   
that " ... a federal study conducted in 2002 discovered that out of
167 online cigarette vendors, 20 adhered to the law."

This Federal Study this article is talking about is a report from the
General Accounting Office of August 2002. It is available at :

http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d02743.pdf

At page 27 of this report you will find the complete list of these
indentified websites who sell Tobacco products through the Internet.



2) A previous study published in 2001 stated that there was 88 online
cigarette vendors in 2000 in the United States.
See about this study :  

http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/smokering/drozd.html

 " Who are Online Cigarette Vendors?
 Kurt M. Ribisl, an assistant professor in the Department of Health
Behavior and Health Education at the University of North Carolina
School of Public Health, led the first  study that attempts to answer
that question. The study, published in the journal Tobacco Control in
October 2001, found 88 Internet cigarette vendors operating within the
United States."

An other site provides the same information :
