SIGN THE PETITION!

Leading the fight against contraband cigarettes, the Canadian Convenience Stores Association (CCSA) is launching one of the largest campaigns ever organized to mobilize provincial and federal Members of Parliament and /or Provincial MPP’s (Ontario), MHA’s (Quebec), MLA’s (NB, NS, PEI) and MHA’s (NFLD).  Over the next few months, we will call upon them to take on the challenge of reducing contraband tobacco in their ridings to 10% in 2010. From May to August, through a petition, a media tour and other awareness-raising activities, we will ask them to commit to start taking concrete local actions in the fight against contraband tobacco.
