What is a blunt wrap, and why are they included in the amendments?
• A2. A blunt wrap is a sheet or tube made of tobacco used to roll cigarette tobacco in – similar to rolling paper. Like little cigars, blunt wraps are available in a wide range of flavours including banana split, strawberry, chocolate, and tropical punch, and are sold in single or small quantity “kiddy-packs” for as little as $1 dollar each. Blunt wraps are included in these amendments because removing certain flavours and packaging them in larger quantities makes them less attractive and accessible to youth. If blunt wraps were not included in the flavour ban along with minimum quantity provisions, children and youth could switch from using flavoured little cigars to using flavoured blunt wraps and adding their own tobacco.
