    Robert may have the right idea...$5./pack however to call teenagers "generally ignorant and stupid" shows his lack of maturity. There are a lot of great teenagers out there just as there were when we grew up.

    The government should use the tax money they are receiving from cigarettes and offer people free stop smoking aids?

    I don't agree with increasing the prices again; they did in March! Les Hagen should try & target obesity in youth if he really cares so much. Always raising cigarette prices is getting old & it don't work. We're already one of the highest taxed countries in the world and in a recession as well.

    I just bought a carton of cigarettes in Ottawa last month & they where $10.00 cheaper. We get a lot of misinformation from Les Hagen. Raising taxes will just cause more crime. The government taxes the people far to much as it is.

    Why don't you target the fast food places, I'm always having to collect their garbage out of my ditch.

    a buck increase maybe not, but 5.00 more a pack would certainly make teenagers think about starting or continuing. then again teenagers are generally ignorant and stupid.
