The liquor stores in Canada are primarily monopolize by the provincial governments, which is for the best, but it does have its obvious negative externalities lol. I always make an effort to go to a govt store over a private corp if I can
There’s a profit ceiling, though. And a lot of countries are finding out that the larger cost of cigarette usage is borne by the healthcare systems that need to spend a disproportionate volume of resources to manage the various health complications caused by a lifetime of smoking.
If anything it should be easier to kill a cigarette industry owned by the government, because the ones profiting are the ones paying the long term cost
unlikely. Basically all cigarettes are produced by CNTC or one of their subsidiaries.
CNTC is owned by the state and rakes in a lot of money for the government.
