Alberta bans menthol tobacco sales after stock clearance
Alberta will ban menthol flavoured tobacco with sales allowed until end of September to clear stock. Health Minister Sarah Hoffman cites youth health and notes menthol use among youth is higher than adults. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have also moved to ban flavoured tobacco. Ontario considers similar steps. Imperial Tobacco Canada plans a legal challenge to Nova Scotia rules. Critics say small shops were not consulted and warn of a black market.
