Are there other Canadian provinces/territories that ban tobacco retail displays?
Yes, several other jurisdictions have either introduced or are introducing similar bans on tobacco displays. Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northwest Territories ban retail displays where minors have access, while Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, PEI and Nunavut have complete bans on display of tobacco products. Alberta recently introduced legislation that will result in tobacco display restrictions. In addition, the federal government has released a discussion paper: A Proposal to Regulate the Display and Promotion of Tobacco and Tobacco-Related Products at Retail.
