Ontario Ban Prohibits Display of Tobacco

Posted: Monday, April 14, 2008

By Gregory Mottola

The La Casa Del Habano in Windsor, Ontario
How does one find tobacco in Ontario, Canada, if a store can't advertise
that it sells it, can't show it to you, and you can't touch it? This is
not a riddle. Starting May 31, retail stores in Ontario must hide their
tobacco from plain sight. A new revision to the Smoke Free Ontario Act,
the Tobacco Display Ban will prohibit businesses from displaying tobacco
products within their retail stores.

Buying a cigar in Ontario will become a convoluted experience. In stores
that are not registered with the Ministry of Health Promotion, any form
of display case, shelf, rack, dispenser, kiosk or window that exposes
any tobacco product will be prohibited. Walk-in humidors will need to
have frosted glass, so as to obscure the view from the outside.
Registered tobacconists need not frost their walk-in humidor walls, and
customers may walk inside their humidors, but they won't be allowed to
physically handle a cigar before buying one.

Ooo, this is a FUN one!

Stores should take to posting HUGE signs behind the counter saying:

We also sell something secret, that we can't show you
(because of bill #12345, passed on May 31, 2008.)
Free book of matches, if you can guess what it is.

I'm actually FOR this part, although it's silly that they have to pass a
law for common etiquette. People shouldn't be able to pick up produce
roll it around in their hands, wipe it under their nose, then put it
back for the next customer, either.

Yuck!

Debatable.
I've been stung often enough by incompetent, ignorant or
plain dishonest staff who wouldn't know a cigar from a
wooden dildo if you hit him over the head with it that I
insist on handling the goods before purchase.
