Press conference held by Victor Lachance, Executive Director of the Canadian Council on Smoking and Health; David Sweanor, legal counsel of the Non-Smokers Rights Association; Ernest Stefanson, Chairman of the Pharmacists Against Cigarette and Tobacco Sales, a committee of the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association.~In an opening statement, the participants comment on Bill C-51, the Tobacco Products Control Act, which is the Federal Government legislation banning all tobacco advertising in Canada, and respond to the criticism of the Bill by tobacco manufacturers. A campaign by Canadian companies aimed at stopping minors from buying cigarettes is a ploy to avoid government legislation, said the Canadian Council on Smoking and Health. Related topics covered include: self-regulation by the British tobacco industry; Canadian child smoking prevention legislation and its enforcement, and taxation of tobacco.
