Oh yes, it's all about being fair...lol. Now I understand their thinking, but the fact remains they're just itching to impose a tax and this one is directly aimed at the POOR who smoke the off brand cigs. Might even be able to call this tax 'racial.'

You can't use the R word on FR
The poor in Canada don't quit. They just get unhealthier because they can't afford decent foods, and end up eating the cheapest processed fat they can in order to afford a pack of cigarettes. And crime goes up. You can make more money smuggling cigrettes across the border than you can selling pot.
