Canada Leads the Way in Health Warnings on Individual Cigarettes

Canada will become the first country to put individual health warnings on cigarettes and other tobacco products, with a phased approach starting on August 1. The new regulations will force cigarette companies to put individual health warnings on their products starting with king size cigarettes by the end of July 2024 and all other products by the end of April 2025. The move is part of Canada's continued efforts to help adults who smoke to quit, to protect youth and non-tobacco users from nicotine addiction, and to further reduce the appeal of tobacco.
