And the government still continues to roll out the nanny state - cigarellos banned?

quote:

http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2010/06/28/14544916.html The long-awaited ban on the sale of flavoured and single cigarillos may be at hand. Ontario Health Promotion Minister Margarett Best has scheduled a media conference in London, Ont., Tuesday to announce changes to the Smoke-Free Ontario Act that will impact the sale and packaging of cigarillos. NDP health critic France Gelinas has been pressuring the government to enact legislation passed 18 months ago that is supposed to make the product less appealing to young people. Anti-smoking advocates believe that cigarillos, which come in flavours like cherry and pina colada and are wrapped individually, act as a gateway product to cigarette or cigar smoking. When the bill was passed in December 2008, Liberal MPP Dave Levac said the number of cigarillos sold in Canada rose to 80 million in 2007, up from just 50,000 in 2001. "You cannot tell me this wasn't about getting kids hooked," Levac said at the time. The legislation was endorsed by the Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco and its members, which include the Canadian Cancer Society and the Ontario Lung Association. The bill did not affect the sale of cigars, which can still be sold individually without health warnings.
