This week on the podcast: New rules from Health Canada will force cigarette makers to label each and every smoke with a blunt warning — including 'Poison in every puff' and 'Cigarettes cause impotence'
Welcome back to Inside the Village, a one-of-a-kind podcast where all news is local — and no topic is off-limits.In an effort help even more people quit smoking, Health Canada is ushering in new rules this summer that will force cigarette makers to label each and every butt with a blunt warning.First announced last year, the move will make Canada the first-ever country to require warning labels not just on tobacco packaging, but on individual cigarettes.
Will it work? Will it inspire more people to quit? We ask Rob Cunningham, a lawyer and senior policy analyst for the Canadian Cancer Society. Also on the podcast: The latest on the doctor shortage plaguing northern Ontario, which we told you about last week. Hosted by Scott Sexsmith and Michael Friscolanti, the Editor-in-Chief of Village Media, Inside the Village is a news and current affairs podcast that provides a weekly window into some of the best local journalism from across our chain of Ontario newsrooms. Produced by Derek Turner, the program also explores bigger-picture issues that impact people across the province.
