"We're not here to argue about it," said Bryans, adding store owners have given up fighting the merits of the ban itself. "Time has just run out." The tobacco ban is a double whammy for store owners who are already losing a quarter of their online cigarettes sales to smuggled smokes, Bryans said. Instead of chasing down errant store owners who are covering up their power walls with a towel, Bryans said the province should channel that energy into stopping illegal cigarette smuggling. "Convenience stores won't go out of business because they've covered the tobacco walls," Bryans said. "They'll go out of business because our regular customers are getting product 10 times cheaper than we can sell it to them so they're not buying gum, chips, pop or lottery tickets." Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory said the Liberal government is showing it's completely insensitive to the plight of small-business owners while it ignores the growing illegal cigarette trade. It's time the Liberals gave store owners some flexibility on the May 31 deadline and turned their attention to stopping the flow of illegal smokes, he said. "They don't realize that these kinds of convenience stores provide an awful lot of jobs for an awful lot of people," Tory said. New Democrat Cheri DiNovo said the display ban on tobacco products should have been brought in a long time ago. But she said it's wrong to rush it through now without any support for retailers.
