Ontario slaps a $0.18475 tax on each cigarette. In Quebec, it's only $0.149 which, for a carton of 200 cigarettes, amounts to the lowest tobacco tax in Canada. A league of health advocacy groups led by the Coalition québécoise pour le contrôle du tabac (CQCT) wants to close that gap. They're calling on political parties to take up the cause ahead of the Quebec election in October.
