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. Critics note that previous graphic warnings on packaging sometimes had the unintended effect of increasing sales through psychological reactance.

Canada's Health Minister, Jean-Yves Duclos, compared vaccine protection to a phone battery that needs to be recharged every six months. He emphasized that staying "caught up" with vaccinations is a top priority for both children and adults to maintain protection against COVID-19. Critics mocked the analogy, noting that unlike a phone battery which is charged daily, the vaccine schedule is being normalized as a recurring semi-annual requirement.
