Retailers Doing What Government Won't!

[Reciprocity]

Many retailers have taken or are taking steps to protect their customers by halting sales of e-cigarette devices and products. Never thought I would be applauding Wal-Mart but .... well deserved applause

Actually, in Canada they don't.

"Walmart, as well as all grocery stores. stopped selling cigarettes across Canada when Ontario's ban on pharmacy sales came into effect in 1994."

You can not buy cigarettes in any store that either is a pharmacy or contains a pharmacy and many grocery stores in Canada have a small pharmacy section in them. I believe pharmacies are called "chemists" in some countries.

Basically, convenience stores either contained within a gas station or stand alone stores are were people can buy cigarettes in Canada. There is the odd specialty smoke shop but not many.
