Flavored cigars and menthols are now illegal in my province

We have a new government in Alberta, the socialist NDP party. One of the first things they did when they got into office was make menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars illegal to sell. I went to the store today to get one of those cheap vanilla cigars and they said they are no longer selling them.
I did some research and apparently this chick named sarah hoffman is behind all this.

While they are at it they should make cheeseburgers illegal cause this is getting ridiculous. Their reasoning behind the bans is beacause kids get hooked on the flavoured cigarettes and become smokers for life and they want to protect the young.
But ya, just wanted to vent my frustration.
Discuss.

They can easily claim that teenagers are getting hooked on ecigs and move on to cigarettes. I can see the NDP getting ecigs banned.

So when are they getting rid of all the fruity and sweet flavored alcohols?

I am métis and I think I read somewhere that native people are still permitted to buy menthols on the reserve. I could easily make a trip and post an add online and make good profit on it since they are illegal for everyone else now.

Wouldn't it be illegal for you to sell them to people who can't legally buy them though? Not sure I'd be advertising that service online.
Although if you worked fast you could figure out a way to menthalate (made that word up) regular cigarettes and sell the kits to do it to regular cigarettes.
