Canada is rolling out new graphic image warnings on cigarette packs

Reported byCBC Canada ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Canada is implementing 13 new graphic warning images on cigarette packages by August 1, 2026, including images of mouth cancer, stroke, and secondhand smoke harm. Experts note graphic images lead to 'significant increases in the effectiveness' of health warnings and have been shown to reduce smoking rates.

Worth noting

The new warnings will rotate after two years on cigarettes and three years on other tobacco products.
