Concern over lost tax revenue, impact on health care, as B.C. considered one of worst provinces for contrabandIt is not surprising that contraband sales are taking place. Tobacco is the news evil substance, and even alcohol is not as bad at all. Don't raise price to discourage smoking. Leave some choice to people. Pollution most likely causes more deaths but what is done about that?
Well, what do you expect when a carton of cigarettes is $175. That's just insane.

Make them cheaper ( the government needs to reduce the tax), and this will go away

Should jack up the price 4000% and make it more profitable for the unregulated market. You seem to believe it works every other time prohibition been a failure.🤡

Bullshit Every smoker I know smokes the Indian tree bark shit.

Think we’ll see even more black market hand guns now that the government has banned the sale of them CBC?
Perhaps they have taxed them beyond what 30-50% of people can afford. They try to stop people from smoking by making it unaffordable. However that only creates an opportunity for others.
Nah, everyone quit
When something is over-priced, people who want or need it will search out alternate sources!
