Really?

Guess not...

   

The Tobacco Act and Alberta's Tobacco Reduction Act are different pieces of legislation. The larger issue of teen smoking is a National epidemic, but thanks for being rude anyway. Interesting article, btw, I wonder if any fines will actually be levied under this new law.

   

I wasn't rude, you were. If you're going to comment on someone else's post, at least read what they posted.

If you don't bother to and someone calls you on it, then take it like an adult.

and yes, Alberta Health will be levying fines on those who don't follow the new law.

   

I wasn't rude to anyone. I said the Tobacco Act was Federal Law, you said it wasn't. I know I'm a newbie, but it's not my fault if you don't know that the Tobacco Act and the Tobacco Reduction Act aren't the same thing. YOU'RE the one that needs to read more carefully.

   

No, it's you who needs to read more carefully.



Once again, as I said to 1331, this was written by Alberta1 (an Albertan), in the Alberta sub-forum, about a tobacco law in Alberta. Why would you think a federal law is even relevant here?

   

Oh, I don't know, maybe because Federal laws governing the sale of tobacco apply in all provinces and the problems of tobacco regulation and youth tobacco use are nation-wide issues.

   

Are you being deliberately thick headed? The whole point of this thread was about pharmacies in Alberta not being able to sell cigarettes, which comes into effect January 1st. You would know that had you even bothered to click on any one of the links I provided. But you didn't bother now did you...

   

The discussion moved in directions other than the origninal point of the thread. I still don't understand why you're being hostile...I never shagged your wife or shat on your lawn.

   

The only 'drug stores' that sell smokes in BC are London Drugs and Superstores with a Pharmacy AFAIK.
Most of the chains stopped long ago without any law forcing them.

   

Well that's it now, no more smokes in the supermarket...boohoo Perhaps the government in AB should open a new store called "Drugs R Us" and sell smokes, liquor, lottery tickets and have VLT machines. What do you think? [Be nice now!]

   

Throw in products from local head shops and You have a win win situation

   

I still don't see the big deal. Drinkers always had to make two stops (for groceries and then booze)...so what if smokers have to also.

   

I'm neither an Albertan nor a smoker... that being said I'm definitely on side with passing legislation that makes it harder to promote smoking in any province.

I'm also not in favour of letting the government decide what I or any other Canadian can and can't do as was discussed earlier in this post. This seems like reasonable legislation.

   

Why not let people sell them as they please. If you do not like it then do not go to that store. That store will go out of business. Keep the government out of it.
