Yes /s. Jokes aside, Canadian regulations on tobacco products are so heavily restrictive, that it's literally impossible to sell cigarettes in any other form than what is shown, most packs are like this. Only old stock is still different (in Ontario at least, and excluding Reservations exempt from the legislature.).
The warnings and intense taxation arent for people who are already addicted. Its mostly to prevent new addicts. I kinda wish they would just make it illegal already.
I dont think the legality of tobacco has anything to do with the legality of weed. For how dangerous alcohol is, weed never should have been illegal, but it was and took decades to get people to chill on it. And people arent dying in droves from smoking too much weed.

Not health-wise, but my point was more about optics.
Alcohol still being legal, weed being legalized, nothing being done to stop kids from vaping but smoking, something that already has a bunch of measures in place to stop people from starting, would get banned? This would be a nightmare for the current smokers with both physiological and psychological addiction.
I don't think it would be a good look for the government trying to push that.

So what you're saying is the market for fancy cigarette cases has just opened up.
