25. PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
We, the undersigned, Youth and Adults of Canada draw the attention
of the House to the following:
THAT, flavoured tobacco products are marketed to youth by the
Tobacco Industry;
AND THAT, these flavoured and easy-to-use products serve to attract
and addict youth to the products at an early age;
AND THAT, the government are the only ones that can stop the
Tobacco Industry marketing to youth with addictive
products.
THEREFORE, your petitioners, request that Parliament pass
legislation that will
Remove ALL flavours from ALL tobacco products.
