Tobacco ban reroves

rights to

Dear Editor:

The federal government is about
to ban all advertising for tobacco
products. In doing so, it would
remove the right to information to
which tobacco consumers are en-
ditled in the same way as con-
sumers of any other legally-sold
products,

If such a flaw had been in effect
when plain cigarettes were smoked,
smokers would have had no means
by which to learn of filter-tipped
cigarettes, Experience has shown
this in other countries in’ a can-

immigrant
obstacles
not equal

Dear Editor:

The admission of (740 Indian
migrants to our shores is another
blatant example of cailow indif-
ference to the wishes of the vast
majority of the Canadian public by
our highly-paid members of
Parliament.

[f one endeavoys to bring in a
relative from the U.K. or Northern
Europe, all kinds of obstacles are
placed in the way. | had this expe-
rience recently and was shocked
and dismayed by the hurdles in the
way of a young immigrant from
the U.K. with lots of potential,
healthy and educated, with finan-
cial backing to avoid becoming a
burden to the taxpayer.

This lad’s grandfather and
great-grandfather were pioneers in
this country and many of his kith
and kin fought, bled and died in
the cause of freedom along with
thousands of Canadian boys of
mostly the sume ilk.

1 consider this a shocking situa-
tion and one | am sure troubles
many peopie whose forebears built
this nation and are now trying to
bring a relative into this country
through legal channels.

In order to assume responsibility
for thus encroaching on the rights
of smokers, the government
claims, among other things, that
advertising encourages young peo-
ple to sinoke. Hawever, there has
never been any advertising for
marijuana, hash, cocaine or for
many other drugs widely used by
young people... so the argument
cited is not valid.

Should this law be passed. a

dangerous = precedent would — be
created. After consumers of
tobacco products, who would be
the next to be affected? Consumers
of alcohol? And then?

The Smokers’ Freedom Society
(SES) strongly protests against his
Jaw which removes treedom of ac-
cess to information, a freedom
which should be enjoyed by all
consumers.
