It's a legitimate question, and not out of context at all. Sure, its swung to a rights issue from a health one, but that comment from you makes it to seem that you are questioning your rights as a consumer and crying foul on the restrictions the government is imposing on buying something particular at a certian store.
The government has drawn the lines in the sand with booze, even now that its privitized in Alberta, grocery stores have to have seperate, unattached outlets to be able to sell it...are you in agreement with that? Technically, porn is legal to purchase as long as you're over 18, but there's obviously a reason that its not more widely available to consumers in more outlets.
To that end, I don't see anything wrong with the restriction (exclusion is a better word, given the number of outlets that will continue to sell cigarettes) of drug stores from selling cigarettes. As I said, there's a place for everything, and pharmacies amongst all other locations, aren't that proper place to be selling cigarettes.
