Smokes in Regina
 
Well on my visit to Regina found there was very few places to get smokes and to be honest the branding confused me totally as has no information at all. No Tar,Nicotene etc etc etc.

This is not a problem as sure one day I will give up but at moment curious where you get smokes from as only found 3 tobacconists in Regina - two i couldn't find so landed up with Pall Mall.

So any advice of what brands and where to get smokes if allowed this thread be interesting :thumbup:

I don't know if Saskatchewan has different rules but in Ontario most(all) corner shops and gas station sell cigarettes, many brands. It sounds to me that you may have been shopping in First Nations stores where brand names are different and I imagine chemical information missing.

I know most supermarkets in Alberta sell them, they are just not allowed to be displayed, they are locked away, could be the same where you are?

Lisa,

In Saskatoon, we can get them in corner stores and gas stations.. I have given up smoking now (been 3 weeks!!!:thumbsup:) but I used to smoke Menthol and managed to get menthol cigs easily. My husband (also given up) used to smoke normal cigs. He used to smoke Lambert & Butler here in the UK but over in SK obviously couldn't get them so he smoked a brand that I can't remember the name of but will find out when he gets home and let you know. I'm sure the name was something like Canadian ......????? He found them better to smoke than any other.

I tried a few and found all of them to be harsh... glad I have given up now though coz it's too expensive here and defo too expensive over there.. I shall be moving to Canada a non smoker... YAY!!:thumbup:

You can buy them in all the usual places,gas stations,convenience stores etc,but they're kept out of sight,ie in a cabinet,draw or behind a curtain.
