THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S HYPOCRISY WHEN DEALING WITH NICOTINE PRODUCTS IS SECOND TO NONE

==========

Imperial Tobacco Canada criticizes the federal government's recent excise increases on cigarettes and vaping products, calling out their justification and challenging the Liberal Party of Canada's real intentions when it comes to nicotine. The government is accused of being addicted to cigarette taxes and the excise increase is expected to fuel the illegal and untaxed market. Currently, one third of cigarettes in Canada are sold illegally, resulting in a loss of over $2.5 billion in tax revenues annually. The government is accused of driving consumers to untaxed cigarettes without providing solutions or dedicating resources to enforce existing regulations. Imperial Tobacco Canada suggests a public inquiry to investigate the government's support and encouragement of the illegal tobacco trade. With vaping, the concern is that increased taxes may deter adult smokers from switching to a less harmful alternative. The federal government is criticized for being disconnected from reality and lacking a real policy to deal with nicotine products. Canadian nicotine users are urged to consider this when electing the next government.
