Canadian Tobacco Regulations

By Cody Carden | March 7, 2024

Canada: Since 2001, Canada has taken an aggressive stance regarding tobacco control measures. Once again, it has set new standards with the introduction of individual cigarette warning messages to discourage smoking, particularly among youth and non-smokers. Under the Tobacco Products Appearance, Packaging, and Labeling regulations (TPAPLR), cigarettes in Canada now bear stark warnings like “poison in every puff.” These messages, which are periodically updated, aim to ensure their continued effectiveness in deterring smokers and raising awareness about the dangers of cigarettes. Although the messaging was approved last year and has already been implemented, scientific literature has only now begun evaluating the impact of these warnings.
