Quotes from this article:

Canada did not create the risk to health, it merely attempted to regulate and reduce it. . . . [I]f it has been wrong or careless in how it has gone about it, that is for the political arena to determine.
BC Supreme Court Justice Deborah Satanove, in her ruling denying tobacco defendants' request to bring in the federal government as a third party because, Defendants claimed, it promoted light and mild smokes as a safer alternative to regular cigarettes.
