Canada could become the first country in the world to require cigarette manufacturers to include warnings about the dangers of tobacco on individual cigarettes.
In addition to potentially causing people to rethink their cigarette use, there is a benefit for law enforcement. It would make it easier for police to detect illegally produced cigarettes, which authorities believe to be a major player in Canada’s tobacco industry. Other ideas under consideration include adding brighter colours and eye-catching cartoons to existing warning labels and ensuring the various warnings on each package follow the same theme and deliver the same message.
The Canadian government is looking into whether or not it can be done.
The federal government estimates that 45,000 Canadians die due to smoking-related health issues each year.

But it came out on a tuesday, which allowed Red Dead Redemption to capture the weekend record. Both are made by the same company, Rockstar Games.
