With the widespread use of cigarettes, colorful cigarette packages were gone and replaced by packages containing visual and written warnings showing the harms of smoking on a black background. These new packages, which entered our lives in our country as of 2010, caused controversy for a long time.
This situation may differ abroad. For example; While packages in some countries preserve their old nostalgic atmosphere, countries such as France, England and Canada use a similar ‘uniform package’ application. However, Canada is preparing to take this practice one step further.
Canada will issue a warning to all cigarettes one by one
Although experts have been making statements about the harms of smoking for years, unfortunately it is very difficult for some people to give up their habits. it can happen. After the transition to the uniform package application, some people were disturbed by the pictures on the packages, but they continued this habit by producing their own solutions. Solutions such as using a cigarette case were one of these methods.
However, for those living in Canada, putting cigarettes on plates will no longer be a solution, because with the new decision, similar warnings will be placed on cigarettes as well. With the warnings to be printed on each cigarette in the packages, not only when people look at the cigarette package; It is also intended to stimulate during consumption. According to the news of The Guardian, the Canadian government thinks that the picture warnings are no longer effective. The new warning method is expected to come into effect until the second half of 2023.
Canada, which has started this practice for the first time in the world, is expected to lead other countries in this regard. As you know, it entered our lives in uniform packages after the step taken by Australia and spread all over the world. It is quite possible that this practice of Canada will spread to the world in the future. Of course, there will be those who ignore these warnings, but let us remind you again that smoking has extremely negative effects on your health and condition.
