Tobacco companies can no longer sponsor events and now on May 31st 2008 Ontario and Quebec will need to cover up and hide their cigarettes for sale. There is alot of controvery about this, especially considering more than 10,000 convenience store owners will not be prepared to make the change. However, there are <a href="http://www.vicstore.com/pressrelease/en/index.html" rel="nofollow">tobacco storage solutions</a> that comply with government regulation they can use. Either way, tobacco has been under fire for a long time now and when you come to think of it, this new law was actually the next logical step towards a smoke free environment. I don't agree or disgree with the legislation myself, but if this is what the experts think is best then its worth trying out. The same thing happened in Canada.
