Canada Cigarette Warnings, Individual Labeling Regulations

Canada is set to become the first country to require health warnings, such as "poison in every puff," to be printed directly on individual cigarettes. The regulations, announced by Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, aim to reduce tobacco use to less than 5% by 2035.
