It's all a crock of $hit. EXACTLY, let's shut down all the McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King's, Pizza Hut's, etc.... "Children" will just go from one fix to another. Outlaw flavored cigarettes and they will start popping pills or whatever else. This government is so @ucked up!

Nahhh,,,,it's ok to play video games that kill and maim or to eat at McDonalds until your cholesterol peaks at 400. Soda is fine until you become diabetic but let's make sure our children aren't exposed to lighters that have more safety levers than Fort Knox. I can hardly wait til they pass legislation that protect me from myself,,,that should keep me busy 24/7

I feel for you guys in the U.S. we have some pretty strict smoking laws in Canada but nothing that is as bad as this. Our government has come up with a way to combat the attractiveness to children, keep them out of site. All businesses that sell tobacco products with the exception of cigar shops must keep their tobacco products out of site by putting doors on shelving units or the product in drawers. Cigars so far have been able to dodge that bullet by having bland packaging and the need for a specialized climate. But I can not for the life of me see why they would ban lighters because a child finds the color attractive.. thats just stupid! Common sense would dictate that these be kept out of the reach of children in the first place. I think someone in your government has been on a bit of a power trip.

I don't think it's a power trip at this point. That's why most of them get elected. They're already filthy rich so they want what they can't buy and that's power. At this point I believe our govt is simply just drinking a bunch of stupid juice.

Maybe the government should let parents do their job, and stop trying to control every issue in our country.

The tobacco industry is already hit with unavailable market spaces, HIGH TAXES(23% here in GA), and now they want to blame us for getting kids to smoke. Honestly I have never seen a 18-21 year old come in and have any knowledge about stogies, much less children. You have to be 18 to even walk in my shop and of sound mind to go into the humidor. Its bull crap. People want more out of the industry, but honestly the industry is already hurting. Alcohol is far worse than tobacco, and they get far more breaks on advertising and taxes. If they want money they should stop scapegoating the tobacco industry and legalize weed and just tax the hell out of that so we can keep smoking.

giant boobs, rat poison, paint, crayons, swings, bright lights such as nude bar signs and such, music as a whole, anything enjoyable.

im not sure how to stop this other than to just make enough noise to draw attention to how ignorant these people are and how they are destroying our natural rights and fully overlooking our amendments. i think this is so outrageous.

I agree

[sodomanaz-cl]

Wait wait wait... flavored cigarettes...

You aren't saying clove (kretek) are illegal are you?!!!!

Bad enough the taxes here push the price up to around $6-8 for a single pack of Sampoerna, but now they are ILLEGAL in some places? What the hell?

I've spent a few years living in Indonesia, and one of my favorite things to do is kick back with a nice DJI Samsoe (handrolled unfiltered fatty cigarette) and just be happy. Now there are places that outlaw these? Wtf

I know a large percentage of cloves get smoked in Indonesia/Malaysia (cheaper than buying non-clove cigs), but I wonder how much this will hurt those who farm the cloves? It's quite an event seeing the cloves drying out while walking around the mountain area and knowing with that harvest the families will be pretty well off for the remainder of the year. Just curious to see if this stupid legislation will make a dent.

Several Provinces in Canada are working to pass a bill to ban all flavored tobacco products. Several tobacco groups in Canada have joined forces to fight this bill. They consider it eye candy for kids. Guess the US is next on the hit list. Check out this website from Canada. http://www.flavourgone.ca/facts.html
