The Kaboom Fireworks smokes are legal, but as Fox said, not very good. The marine distress smokes still seem to be the best bang for the buck, the trouble now is finding any. I believe our supplier has around 50 or so in stock which is insufficient for us to ship in and then redistribute due to logistics.

Maybe not as a retail buyer, but then I don't know if you have your licence if you did you would know that there are classifications unless they have changed the rules in the last five years C class are candles (like Roman candles) air bursts, flares, the stuff you get during Halloween are a mixed bag, if you would like to take the coarse in BC here is the info. Now I'm not saying you need a licence to let smoke bombs off you just need to be an adult to use according to the police and fire department.

Um, thanks. I'm a level 2 Supervisor and have been shooting fireworks professionally for ten years. "Class C" is NOT a Canadian classification. Class 7.2.1 is. You might want to educate yourself a little more rather than posting irrelevant info.
