Canada Considering Future Smoking Ban
Canada could be taking a bold step toward a smoke-free future.
Health Minister Marjorie Michel says she’s exploring the idea of banning future generations from ever buying cigarettes a move inspired by the U.K.’s recent decision.
The proposal would mean anyone born on or after January 1, 2009 may never legally purchase cigarettes, following a similar law passed in the United Kingdom through the Tobacco and Vapes Bill.
Michel says discussions are still ongoing with partners across the country, but the idea is already sparking debate.
