According to news articles, yet another study has been released condemning a tobacco product for their damaging health effects, which will likely produce no tangible results. The 2006-2007 Youth Smoking Survey from the University of Waterloo addresses the dangers posed by cigarillos,which are flavoured mini-cigars. With flavours such as vanilla, strawberry, mint, peach, etc., the temptation can be great for young children to try them.
The government needs to actually do something to make it impossible (or, at the very least, very, very difficult) for children to purchase these yummy, but deadly, cancer sticks. Young people are trying cigars, cigarillos, and cigarettes at alarming rates, and we need to do anything we can to discourage them from doing so.
Anything that can harm and kill the way these cigarillos can should not be allowed to taste or look like candy. It's time the government actually struck back at tobacco producers, desperate to maximize profits and hook new customers.
