Health Canada is introducing warning labels on individual cigarettes in an effort to reduce smoking rates in Canada. The labels, which will be in English and French, will include messages such as "poison in every puff," "tobacco smoke harms children" and "cigarettes cause impotence." King-size cigarettes will be the first to feature the warnings, with regular-size cigarettes and little cigars with tipping paper and tubes following by the end of April 2025. This makes Canada the first country in the world to have warning labels on individual cigarettes.
Oklahoma voters rejected a state question on Tuesday that would have allowed for the recreational use of marijuana, with 57.7% of voters voting against it. Former Republican Gov. Frank Keating and Terri White, the former head of the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, led the opposition to the proposal, arguing that the state should focus on medical marijuana. Supporters of the proposal argued that it would create jobs, generate tax revenue, and reduce the number of people incarcerated for marijuana-related offenses.
