How's your legalese?

pretty interesting. My thoughts on 10.2 are that they see flavorings as a lure into tobacco use. Children are more likely to smoke root beer cigaretts than natural cigaretts.

However, I suppose, technically, someone could use said root beer to reconsitiute tobacco making it perfectly legal.

This is an amendment to the Tobacco Act( which broadly covers cigarillos, cigars and pipe tobacco). However, I think, I hope the particular amendment refers exclusivly to cigarillos.

not directed at people who smoke those dreadful water pipe things - we call them bongs over here?

To whoever wrote BILL C-566 .. May your face melt and your dogs pee in your coffee.

Hookahs, I've heard most south africans call them hubbly bubbly and laugh at me actually. Lol

However, but I don't think so, shisha tends to be the least regulated form of tobacco in Canada.

This proposition has still a long way to go before it will be actual law. However, I can't really see this being stopped, especially considering the sheer number of lobby groups backing it ...

Still it is worth taking note of something like this, and trying to keep track of what may or may not be shifting in similar directions in our own regions.

When this comes to pass, you can be sure it will be the deathblow to pipe tobacco.

Depending on their definition of "flavoring agent" this bill could practically outlaw any tobacco sale in Canada. Even the often-mentioned English law was not so specific with regard to flavoring.

Don't let the US Senate see this...
