This supplement is intended to provide an overview of tobacco control policies that have been implemented in Canada at both the federal and provincial levels. Note that this summary does not include all tobacco control policies implemented in Canada. This section will be expanded in future issues.

Much of the policy information presented in this supplement has been drawn from other sources. We wish to thank Rob Cunningham of the Canadian Cancer Society, and the Non-Smokers’ Rights Association, for allowing us to reproduce their tables and factsheets. We would also like to acknowledge Health Canada as the source for all of the text on federal regulations.

We hope that you find this a useful addition to the Patterns and Trends report, and we welcome your feedback on any areas that you would like to see covered in subsequent editions.
