packaging\u2014a policy that started an international trend when it was introduced two decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to address the concern that these messages may have lost their novelty, and to an extent we worry that they may have lost their impact as well,&#8221; Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Carolyn Bennett said at a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> conference Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Adding health warnings on individual tobacco products will help ensure that these essential messages reach people, including the youth who often access cigarettes one at a time in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> situations, sidestepping the information printed on a package.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A consultation period for the proposed change is set to begin Saturday, and the government anticipates the changes coming into force in the latter half of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>While the exact messaging printed on cigarettes could change, Bennett said the current proposal is: &#8220;Poison in every puff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bennett also revealed expanded warnings for cigarette packages that include a longer list of smoking&#8217;s health effects, including stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease.<\/p>\n<p>Canada has required the photo warnings since the turn of the millennium, but the images haven&#8217;t been updated in a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Cunningham, senior policy analyst with the Canadian Cancer Society, said he hopes the warnings printed directly on cigarettes become popular internationally, just like the package warnings did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is going to set a world precedent,&#8221; Cunningham said, adding no other country has implemented such regulations. He&#8217;s hopeful that the warning will make a real difference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a warning that you simply cannot ignore,&#8221; Cunningham said. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to reach every smoker, with every puff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The move also drew praise from Geoffrey Fong, a professor at the University of Waterloo and principal investigator with the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a really potentially powerful intervention that&#8217;s going to enhance the impact of health warnings,&#8221; Fong said.<\/p>\n<p>Smoking rates have been steadily falling over the years. The latest data from Statistics Canada, released last month, shows 10% of Canadians reported smoking regularly. The government is seeking to cut that rate in half by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>StatCan noted that roughly 11% Canadians 20 and older reported being current smokers, compared to just 4% of people aged 15 to 19.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        Plain packaging on cigarette packs in Canada advanced efforts for reducing smoking\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 The Associated Press.
