I've never really examined that question. I believe it's not illegal per se for somebody to buy a cigarette that violates, for example, the Tobacco Act. I could be wrong on that. Certainly, if somebody were buying them in huge quantities and reselling them to all his buddies, that is a different story, because then he's aiding and abetting the illegal distribution. Whether or not it's illegal for someone to just buy them for their own use, if they go up to a smoke shack on Kahnawake and buy 200, I'm a little embarrassed to say that I'm not quite sure.
