Ontario pushing ahead with law to hide Cigarettes from view in stores

The province is pushing ahead with its law to have all Cigarettes in stores hidden from view by May 31st. About half of the province's ten thousand convenience stores say they can't meet the deadline...and it will cost each of them over two thousand dollars to remove the wall of Cigarettes behind the counter Conservative leader John Tory says the liberals are being insensitive to the plight of sMall business owners. But Premier McGuinty says they've have had years to get ready. The Ontario convenience stores association says the new rules are a double whammy for owners who are already losing one-quarter of their tobacco sales to cigarette smuggling.
