STILL SMOKING

Re: Ottawa's Pot Plan All About Control, editorial, July 5.

It seems somewhat ironic that public health policy makers have since
the 1990s been concentrating on tobacco cessation, while in one fell
swoop Justin Trudeau and his Liberals have thrown 25 years of this
policy out the window in their desire to appeal to young and
pot-friendly Canadians. Marijuana use is as damaging to the health if
not more than tobacco use. So where is the public health condemnation
of this policy?
