CNN —“Tobacco smoke harms children.” “Cigarettes cause leukemia.” “Poison in every puff.”Those are among the messages that will soon appear – in English and French – on cigarettes in Canada. The country announced Wednesday it will require health warnings to be printed directly on every individual cigarette – the first country in the world to do so. The labels on individual cigarettes will make it “virtually impossible” for smokers to avoid warnings, health officials said. The regulation is part of the country’s goal to drop its nationwide tobacco use to less than 5% by 2035. It will be accompanied by other measures aimed at reducing the number of smokers in the country, including the strengthening of health messages on tobacco product packages, health officials said.
