Hi folks, my name is Blood Sucker and I'm from Quebec City.
I've joined DnA Team as a Canadian Writer/Informator so here is what
is going on here:
It all started one day (some years ago) when some smugglers saw that
the price for cartons of cigarettes in Canada was too expensive... This
is the story...The provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and New-Brunswick have the
biggest problem.
The Fed. Government has lost over 2 Billion Dollars from sales of contra-
band cigarettes . Some Mohawk and Huron Indians were selling cartons for half
the going price before. They were selling 'em For less money(20$/carton).
Resellers were selling them to us, the smokers. The price of Contraband Cigs
was between $3.00-$5.00 while the legal ones cost $6.00-$7.50 . After the
8th of Feburary, the Feds realized that nobody was going to buy legal
cigarettes. That's when they decided it was time to cut prices!
The prices have been cut by 54% . Here is a chart that covers the
evolution of cigarette (carton) prices:

With this chart, you can deduce that the Government was scamming
enormous profits...
Leeched from the Globe & Mail 22th of Feburary:
Someone has to draw the line somewhere against this nutsy Ottawa-Quebec
Scheme to lower the prices of Cancer Causing Cigarettes . The mighty
waters of The Bay Of Fundy ( and the Trans-Canada highway West of
Ontario) are as good A place as any for this newest Maginot Line.
Keep your hearts pure and your powder dry.
The Nova Scotia decision to keep provincial cigarette prices high while
neighboring New-Brunswick folded like a cheap tent is what you might
expect from a cabinet containing three medical doctors, one of them
the Premier John Savage.
Still, it won't be easy to stop a flood of cheap cigs from entering
the province from next door, though Nova Scotia has had plenty of
experience in erecting funny little barriers to regional trade.
The moral argument didn't work with Quebekers : Some of 'em even made a
show of buying contraband cigarettes in a church parking lot last month.
But you never know with Nova Scotians. All the ones we've met have been as
straight as the day is long . They've had to be, to keep sometimes-shady
governments from typing over too much the other way .
B.S.-=[ The Federal Government is also planning to employ up to 50 new
smoke police (health inspectors actually, at a cost of $2.5 million)
This means another fucking thing that we Canadians will have to pay for
with our taxes...]=-
Anyway Now The Packs Are 2.80$ for Normal Sizes And 2.85$ for King Sizes.
Before they cut down their prices people had to be older than 16 to buy
cigs. Now it's 18 years old, but nobody in Canada gives a fuck, because
nobody Is respecting this Law... That means that you can be 5 Years old and
smoke as much as you want... THIS IS LIBERTY!!! Anarchy in action!
