It's never described like this, but I think this move opens the door for the province to tighten the screws on cigarette sales, potentially opening the door for a cigarette ban now. The alcohol sales are a lifeline for convenience stores for when they lose cigarettes.

I can't believe for a moment that removing tobacco from corner stores has ever crossed the mind of anyone in government right now
