Peach, Wild Berry, Vanilla, Wintergreen, Green Apple, Cherry and Citrus!!

Its just like the Tobacco Industry to disguise a dangerous product as candy. So much for not marketing to kids!Flavoured chew tobacco tins tucked in with the candy it is designed to resemble. So much for not marketing to kids!

The tobacco industry is still targeting youth with sweet-smelling and brightly-packaged tobacco products. They have shown time and time again that they are not going to stop adding fruit/berry/alcohol flavours on their own. They have also shown that no matter what they will twist and turn the new laws to make an extra buck. We need the government to make them take flavours out. Big Tobacco doesn't care about you, they're out for the bottom line: $$$... Why else would they fight so hard against paying for all the Health Care that their products caused?!

The Flavour...GONE! campaign is a youth-led campaign that began in July of 2008. The Flavour…GONE! We were beyond happy when Bill-C32:Cracking Down on Tobacco Marketing Aimed at Youth Act, which gained Royal Ascent on October 8th, 2009- this banned flavouring in blunt wraps, the ban of singles and kiddie packs, proper warning labels on cigarillo’s and the ban of flavouring agents in cigarillos.  To our disappointment this bill held major loopholes.  Big Tobacco is pro at finding and exploiting loopholes in legislation; they've been doing it for years, why stop now? They must think we are pretty stupid, just look at our page of quotations for proof!
 Just before Bill C-32 came into effect, they released new products that were advertised as being "C-32 Compliant", but still contain flavours and bright packages. Furthermore, the bill did not ban flavoured chewing tobacco, which is still sold in brightly coloured tins with yummy sounding flavours. Because of this, OUR FIGHT IS NOT OVER, AND WE’RE BACK!

All Flavours in all Tobacco, you're NEXT!

We want Chew Tobacco Included! Spit or chew tobacco is just as dangerous as cigarettes. One tin of spit/chew can deliver as much nicotine as 40-60 cigarettes! It can cause cancers of the mouth in as little as five years after continual using, aided by the fact that there are 28 known carcinogens in spit tobacco.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to educate yourself and those around you on the dangers of chewing tobacco and cigarillos. Then send a letter to the House Standing Committee on Health and Health Canada telling them that what the tobacco industry is selling is not cool. They are the ones that need to be convinced by you(th) that flavoured spit/chew tobacco are dangerous products and must be placed under the same flavour ban regulation as older cigarillos and blunt wraps.

The government started the ball rolling with Bill C-32, which put a dent in the cigarillo issue, but leaves spit/chew tobacco untouched, and left the door wide open for big tobacco to introduce new flavoured products, which they already have. Cancer shouldn't come in a candy wrapper... IT’S TIME TO FINISH THE JOB.  Cue Bill C-631, an amendment to tobacco act, and a bill to ban all flavours in all tobacco industry products!  The youth of Flavour…GONE! Have re-launched and are doing ‘Morph Suit’ events all around Canada. What is a ‘Morph Suit’ event you ask? Check out our newsroom link and facebook group  to find out! Tell your friends about the campaign - we need all of Canada's youth to stand up and say we will not be targets for cancer wrapped in a candy wrapper - we want Flavour... GONE!

p.s. - if you want support or ideas on how to make sure your local MP or organization gets on the list of supporters go to the contact us page and email the youth of Flavour... GONE! We'll be glad to help.
