In Ontario members of all Ontario political parties are trying to ban the selling of flavoured cigarillos to youth. Cigarillos are smaller versions of cigars, which are flavoured to appeal to youth. They come in 21 flavours, and are sold individually for $1 each. Cigarillos are exempt from the anti- smoking regulations because they are not wrapped in tobacco paper but are wrapped in tobacco leaves. Cigarillos are "deliberately designed and sold in a way to appeal to young people." says Canadian Cancer Society, which I believe it true. They make smoking seem not as bad for you by making them different flavours and make them seem okay to smoke. The number of cigarillos sold have drastically increased or the past few years. I believe in this banned, that it is a good thing. Youth shouldn’t be able to get smokes even if they are technically not cigarettes; there is a reason why the legal age is 19. They are not good for your health or even worse then regular cigarettes. Without the banning of cigarillos it allows for youth to start smoking legally which has a higher percent of youth becoming addicted and when they are legal will start and smoke cigarettes. The only purpose of cigarillos is to attract youth to start smoking and get them to be a client for life, which I believe shouldn’t be allowed to happen legally.
