PICTURE BASED CIGARETTE WARNINGS

Canada's graphic health warnings

Canada was the first jurisdiction to require full-colour graphic warnings on cigarette packages.

Since December 20, 2000, cigarettes sold in Canada must display warnings which take up 50% of the principal display space.  One side is an English warning, the other is in French (the two official language of Canada).

Cartons must also display the warnings.
