Health campaigners worry that even the most graphic photographs on the outside of packaging may have lost their impact. One of the ideas for the slogan on each cigarette is"poison in every puff".Canada is poised to become the first country in the world to require a health warning be printed on every cigarette.
It follows the inclusion of graphic photo warnings on tobacco products' packaging - a policy that started an international trend when it was introduced two decades ago.Canadian minister of mental health and addictions Carolyn Bennett said new impetus was needed because the photos"may have lost their novelty... and may have lost their impact as well".
She said adding health warnings to individual cigarettes would ensure messages reach people, including the young who"often access cigarettes one at a time in social situations, sidestepping the information printed on a package".A consultation period for the proposed change is due to begin, and the government anticipates the changes coming into force in the latter half of 2023.
While the exact messaging printed on cigarettes could change, Ms Bennett said the current proposal is:"Poison in every puff."
