Higher the age to buy them
Everyone knows smoking kills. $$$ better spent on addiction treatment. Smoke & mirrors. Gov't gets taxes; industry gets profits. Neither really wants to change status quo.
All this will do is make a game of it, who can smoke down the lettering the fastest.
Ya because that will make the difference.
Yeah — that will surely get the message through to those last few holdouts.
Is this April fools?
Idiots
CA is worried about plastic straw pollution which is justifiable but have they ever looked at cigarette butt pollution? And now mask pollution? With the technology we have now the plastic straw pollution should not be an issue-ppl are buying more plastic garbage bags than before
With everything they have done to stop people from smoking this will never do it either.
An estimated 48,000 Canadians die each year as a result of smoking, In Canada, annual deaths resulting from firearms total 2018: 695 2017: 785
Why
Get rid of them and make them illegal in Canada. Billions in healthcare costs every year from a poison product.
This is not going far enough IMHO, Everytime someone buys cigarets, booze, pot or sex toys they must be followed by these folks from the shop to their car Idiocracy
Given that cigarettes cause health problems than handguns, mb they should be banned.
Yeah, not enough it's on the pack. Not enough that smokers already know, but are addicted. Let's add it to the cigarette itself, so the governments collecting tax on these carcinogens can keep collecting it. Put the same warning on mRNA syringes, that'll be doing something.
One of the most annoying things about cigarettes is all the butts littering the planet! Why do they need filters? Pot smokers don't use filters. How about just getting rid of the filters?
Silly
This country is truly bonkers
Who cares
So glad we have a gender neutral anthem. And now this. Wow.
Do we really care enough? I don’t even know a single smoker in my life so clearly it’s fading without these stupid warning signs…
While legalizing hard drugs. Canada is not a serious country.
Ah priorities...
Y la Kakita verde?
force cig companies to put a fire cracker in one smoke in a pack and let er rip
need to clamp down on vapping ..if folks dont know dangers of ciggies by now its their problem ..
That will certainly stop folks from smoking.
Ridiculous waste of time & money.
Goodluck with people reading their individual cigarettes. It just goes up in smoke.
Finally something that will deter smokers. Long overdue. Do i smell a Nobel prize ?
As long as the warning is written in ink that will produce non-toxic smoke.
The level of stupidity in the West is reaching epic proportions. How many people smoke nowadays? I dont know any under the age of 50 yrs. How about the govt, hell bent on virtue signaling and pointless acts of futility, put those health warnings on every grain of processed sugar?
NGL this is pretty awesome 😂
Is this part of the new California deal Sounds and smells like it!!
Not a smoker but again I realize that anything that the Trudeau government can do to raise prices for the lower income group is fair game!
I hope the ink is laced with coke
Classic Canada 🙄
Oh my. We are wasting our best and the brightest to come up with something like this 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 If the cigarettes are bad for your health, stop producing them!!!
Someone, anyone, please file an ATI request to find out how many bunglecrats attend how many meetings at what dollar cost to a) have come up with this brainstorm of an idea, and b) the final, all-in cost, with taxes, title and dealer prep.
But we still drink plastic bottled water...
So people can smoke ink... 🤔 Is this from the Science table 🤣🤣🤣
Lol next thing you know they’ll be putting warnings on firearms “beware bullets come out very very fast “
Oh, Good Lord. Please tell me that this is a parody account. I await the more detailed analysis by acoyne , mattgurney and StephenPunwasi .
More straight up Communism from JustinTrudeau
🤔🤔🤔why?
glad to see the government deal with the big problems .........by dealing with non existent ones.....who reads cigarettes ffs
Why. Another stupid idea. How much did that cost the taxpayers to come up with this idea lol
What a waste of ink
That'll do it 🤡🇨🇦 When do we build taxpayer funded safe smoking sites? We can give out free organic tobacco as a harm reduction plan. We do it for smack, so why not cigarettes?
Really? That's pointless. An addict will do anything to get his drug.
