Are Dunhill Lights cigarettes available in Vancouver, Canada?

Question

**Please - no 'smoking kills' comments. I'm looking for answers only**

And how much are they? If you have smoked them did you like them? Are they available at most stores/gas stations etc? It's funny how when I asked for Marlboro Lights last week the guy at the counter hesitated for a second before reaching out for the 'No Name' Marlboro. Don't you ask for Marlboro even if it's nameless here in Canada? I'm just confused. (I'm new to the Canadian cigarettes market)

Answer 1

Yes, but not at every corner store & gas station. With the new smoking regulations in BC, all the cigs are covered up, which may explain the hesitation when the clerk was getting them.

Answer 2

I am not a smoker so no expert, but there are 2 things going on.

1) As far as I know, Canada is following many countries lead and stopping the use of the labels "light" and "mild" as they are misleading.  I believe we could be in the middle of that change.  So if you ask for lights, the counter guy has to think of what the new name actually is.

2) The Cigarette industry is local.  Canada has it's own brands produced by it's own companies.  Although some companies bought in, and Dunhill is offered by Rothmans, Benson & Hedges, you have a lot of loyal smokers who smoke their same old Canadian brand for years.  Thus it should be available, but maybe not as popular and not everywhere.  Marlboro is traditionally an American brand.
