Welcome!

Filter-Tips is Canada's first e-zine review of tobacco marketing in Canada. It's offered by Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada as a semi-annual check-up on the promotional activities of the tobacco industry and its associates.

Our information comes from a variety of sources:  tips from friends, tireless photographers (this edition owes much to Denis Cote at InfoTabac in Montreal), news releases, friendly retailers and information requested from Health Canada under Access to Information laws.  The resources to put this page on the web came from a contribution provided to PSC from Health Canada (whose opinions are not necessarily reflected in the content). Thanks, Health Canada! 

Caveat surfer! We're heavy on photos and graphics!  (As they say, a picture is worth 178,352,493 kilo bytes!)
