Tobacco Endgame

Canada needs to do better. Over the past several decades, we have seen progress through smoke-free public places, tax increases, public education campaigns and other measures contributing to a dramatic decline in smoking rates. Yet, as of today, tobacco remains the number one cause of preventable disease and death in Canada. It is time to increase our collective efforts to achieve the Endgame goal of a prevalence of tobacco use of less than 5% of the population by 2035.

The following are reports are from the Tobacco Endgame Cabinet, which comprises leading experts in tobacco control, including individuals from health charities, researchers and healthcare professionals.
