Where will I get my quasi-illegal pharmaceuticals now? :(

Also, does anyone think this has a serious chance of passing
Constitutional muster?

My doctor and my quit-smoking support program would like to have a word
with you. (I'm completely serious about this - I'm on a program to help
quit the cigarettes, and part of this program involves a pretty healthy
amount of email being exchanged, most of which remind me to take my
prescribed drugs that they sold me daily. Their emails do come, at
times, pretty close to "marketing," despite the fact that I explicitly
requested them.)

Laws like this almost always clash with the law of unintended consequences.
