| Canada | AMR | NIL | In March 2019, Canada amended the Tobacco Reporting Regulations, which set out the requirements for the reporting of information on the sales, manufacturing processes, ingredients, constituents, emissions, research and development activities as well as promotional activities undertaken by tobacco manufacturers. The amendments served to update and clarify the requirements in order to make them more relevant to the current environment and to eliminate redundant requirements; updated the official testing methods for the sampling and testing of tobacco products to reflect technological advances. The amendments are expected to enhance the quality and completeness of the information submitted by the tobacco industry. In 2000, Canada enacted the Tobacco Reporting Regulations, which set out requirements for the reporting of information on sales, manufacturing processes, ingredients, toxic constituents, toxic emissions of tobacco products sold in Canada, as well as research activities and promotional activities undertaken by tobacco manufacturers and importers. | The Tobacco Reporting Regulations enacted in 2000 require that tobacco manufacturers report to the Government the content and emissions of consumer tobacco products sold in Canada. Under the previous labelling requirements, the toxic emissions statements displayed numerical values for six toxic emissions (tar; nicotine; carbon monoxide; formaldehyde; hydrogen cyanide; and, benzene). Research conducted by Health Canada has shown that the numerical values were not clearly understood by some smokers and most had little idea what the range of numbers displayed for each chemical meant. The numerical values have been replaced by four text-based statements that provide clear, concise and easy to understand information about the toxic substances found in tobacco smoke. |
