This is a weird and interesting time in Canadian politics. Never before has support been so high within Canada, for the legalization of marijuana. A previously taboo product, views have steadily been shifting toward widespread tolerance, if not flat out acceptance, of the place of this mind altering substance within our society.
Conversely, as tolerance becomes widespread for marijuana, it becomes unfashionable regarding a different smoke, tobacco. Currently, governments in more than one province in Canada, are reviewing stronger legislation regarding tobacco smoke, that would make a variety of currently legal things, such as smoking in cars with children, or smoking hookahs is restaurants, against the law. Included in this shift, is a strong push by organizations like the Canadian Cancer Society, and Smokefree Alberta, to prevent the uptake of the habit by children, by eliminating 'child targeted products', such as mint or fruit flavoured tobaccos. Alberta is currently reviewing the issues, with exceedingly strong support by Albertan residents for the measure.
