THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY MUST BE HELD TO ACCOUNT

Big Tobacco’s wrongful behaviour over decades has caused disease and death in Canada on a massive scale. 46,000 Canadians die each year from tobacco use. The overwhelming majority of people who smoke began as teenagers or pre-teens.

It is time to hold the tobacco industry to account. Health Canada is finalizing a regulation to require that tobacco companies reimburse the government for the annual cost of its tobacco-related initiatives in its national strategy. This regulation is an important measure, and of course is opposed by the tobacco industry.

In Canada, the proposed regulation can be strengthened, by recovering not just tobacco related costs in the strategy, but also vaping related costs, as in the U.S.

Also, it should be clear that the regulation will come into force soon – in 2025 at the very latest.

You can help support the proposed new regulation, strengthen tobacco control in Canada, and help hold the tobacco industry to account. Let Health Canada know you support a strong regulation by using this form.
