Canadian Plain Packaging

[El Presidente]

I understand that the 3 months of plain packaging "consultation" will finish at the end of August for Canadians. 

There is a grass roots campaign by the Canadian cigar community (consumers and retailers) in combating the proposed plain packaging legislation.

If you are Canadian and you are concerned (you should be), then can I recommend penning a submission and contacting your local MP in writing. 

The fight against Plain Packaging on cigarettes may be a lost cause. However, an exemption for hand rolled cigars as in the UK may be where you focus your fight.

Good luck to all of you!
