Erik,

The tobacco companies have gotten a lot of flack over trying to sell cigarettes to the youth of America. At this time it would be near impossible for them to include cards as a coupon in packs without getting more grief.

In addition to this the tobacco companies have entered into settlement agreements with both the states and individuals about limiting their advertising. Although I do not know the details of these agreements, I would imagine that they would include avoiding marketing to the youth of America.
