I guess Canada doesn't need the tax money...

 
Individual cigarettes in Canada will now carry warnings such as “poison in every puff” and “cigarettes cause impotence” in what the government says is an effort to make it “virtually impossible to avoid health warnings altogether”. The measure, the first of its kind in the world, is part of a sweeping set of new tobacco regulations coming into effect on Tuesday that will see tight controls phased in over the next two years.
“Tobacco use continues to kill 48,000 Canadians each year.

  5. And yet the Canadians use paraformaldhyde in their maple taps to increase sap production ... which is outlawed in Vermont, their main competitor. Vermont syrup also has a legally required higher sugar content than Canadian syrup.

    So Canadians are only concerned about toxic chemicals when it benefits them. I bet they don't grow much tobacco.
