CANADA
The Canadian government has finalized an amendment to the Tobacco Act to ban the use of menthol in cigarettes, blunt wraps, and most cigars sold on the Canadian market, effectively expanding flavor restrictions to 95% of the country’s entire tobacco market.
This new amendment builds on changes that came into force in 2009 and 2015, which banned the use of certain additives, including flavors like chocolate and bubble gum, in all cigarettes, blunt wraps, and most cigars (including little cigars), to make them less attractive to youth.
