Some lowlights:

"Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada called on the federal government to do more to reduce the appeal of smoking, especially among young people."
"Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada wants all flavoured tobacco products banned, including shisha, because of their appeal to young people."
""There is no safe level of tobacco use," Dr. Euan Swan of the Canadian Dental Association said at the news conference."
"Health Canada will continue to monitor emerging trends of other tobacco products and take action in the future when warranted."

This doesn't bode well for us.

Don't people realize there no um, smoke in snus, snuff, and dip? Isn't that why it's called smokeless tobacco?

Guess they should change their name to Physicians for a tobacco-free Canada as they are going after all forms of flavoured tobacco.

And there was me thinking you had to be intelligent to be a Physician.

A lot of people make that mistake. The only difference between doctors, and you, is they went to school to be doctors. You could be a doctor too, as could your local bartender, trashman, or Walmart clerk. Think about that. Every time you hear somebody say something stupid, you can be assured they're just an undertrained doctor. Kind of puts things in perspective, eh?

This might not be so bad. Maybe, the manufacturers will better focus their efforts on plain tobbaco.

I wonder where they will draw the line at "plain" though. Doesn't practically all snus have some sort of flavouring, albeit more subtle in some than others? I might just have to break off pieces of cigarettes and stuff them under my lips. Except menthol, they'll be banned. I know you guys in the states got to keep the menthol, but who knows what these loonies here will do.

Thats crap. I think they're just talking kind of any shit about it but do not take cigarettes away because they get lot of taxes from it.
