Smuggling fine was a bargain

Quotes from this article:

The RCMP knows all about this. They could have walked in and just handcuffed everybody at Imperial . . . . [The Canadian government didn't] have the guts of a field mouse to go after the executives. . . . [T]hey had Imperial cold, on the ground screaming. (But) they reached down and gave it a hand and pulled them up and said, 'Ah, give us 50 million bucks and we'll forgive and forget.'
Paul Finlayson, who for 16 years was an executive at Imasco, which once owned Imperial Tobacco Canada. Finlayson said he developed the company's 1994 smuggling/tax evasion model.

Quotes from this article:

Harm reduction, particularly when it comes to tobacco products, is an important public health issue. If harm reduction products are to be pursued and be effective, we need to look at how best to regulate this new category in a way that makes people aware of their choices and accurately reflects the risk reduction potential and the remaining health risks. To do so we need the input of all stakeholders such as the government and the scientific community.
Benjamin Kemball, president and CEO of Imperial Tobacco Canada, which has announced that Ottawa will be the site of the Company's next test market for its snus product.

The health risks associated with smoking tobacco products are wellunderstood, the prices are high and restrictions are strict, yet about five million adults in Canada smoke. Imperial Tobacco Canada believes that it is the right thing to provide people products that are potentially less harmful than smoking.
Benjamin Kemball, president and CEO of Imperial Tobacco Canada, which has announced that Ottawa will be the site of the Company's next test market for its snus product.

Quotes from this article:

Many adult smokers continue to use tobacco and we believe the responsible thing to do is to seek out and offer products that may substantially reduce the health risks. One school of thought in the tobacco control field basically amounts to telling smokers their only choices are to 'quit or die' in the hope they will quit. The other school of thought is that, with about 5 million Canadian adults continuing to smoke, options that reduce the health risks for those who choose not to quit should be pursued. We agree with this second school of thought.
Benjamin Kemball, President and CEO of Imperial Tobacco Canada, on the company's plan to test market a brand of snus.
