Pending ban on cigarette displays about 'saving lives' despite uproar: Premier

Ontario keeps on stomping on the tobacco minnow while the chemical shark rips out our guts. Europe made a move to tightly regulate chemicals; Harper made a deal with the USA to protect them. Kill the people in the name of profit!

What deal was that?

Canada unlike Europe has a science based enviromental policy. We have done a very good job on banning toxic chemicals while using chemicals such as 24D to end hunger in this country.

Explain please, I'm not a smoker, cept for the odd cigar, but seems to me during my time in Europe their cigarettes were noted to be more potent the North American blends. Like Ruez asked, what deal are you talking about?

if it gets to be too much of a pain in the ass to carry cigarettes the small corner stores wont bother with it.. guess thats the idea..

not sure what this ban on tobacco displays is going to do , mean is allready so much smuggling taking place and illegal sales of tobacco products in this province , you hear about the busts like everyday if you read the police reports
until they shut down that element this isn't going to solve the problem

most of the illegal smokes you can buy on reserves etc are in plain plastic ziplock type bags..so you wouldnt know if you were smokin cow shit.. I mean locking them up or keeping them under the counter is going to do squat.. if you are a smoker ( I am not) you would probably smoke the same brand..so when you ask for them it will take a minute to get them.. so whats the big deal.. I can go in a grocery store at home in Quebec and buy a case of beer.. if I didnt drink beer I wouldnt buy it.. I dont smoke so dont buy them.. this is just crap..

coould go to the states and buy a pack of Kools or Copenhagen

All this hoopla about second hand smoke just drives me to light up---to protect myself from it.

I think the government should just shut the fuck up. I am so tired of hearing about mcgoofey and marry band of idiots.

I would like to ban him!
