DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

TOBACCO ACT

Proposed Tobacco Regulations

The Department of Health is considering the development of regulations pursuant to the Tobacco Act to prohibit the display of "light" and "mild" descriptors on tobacco product packaging and is seeking input from interested parties on the development of these Regulations. Currently, there are no regulations dealing specifically with these descriptors. This notice provides an opportunity to comment on the development of these proposed tobacco regulations.

The Tobacco Act is a key element of the federal tobacco control strategy whose main objective is to improve the health of Canadians by reducing tobacco use. The Department of Health's tobacco control activities have four mutually reinforcing components: protection, prevention, cessation and harm reduction.

In brief, the Tobacco Act aims to:

— protect the health of Canadians in light of conclusive evidence implicating tobacco use in the incidence of numerous debilitating and fatal diseases;

— protect young persons and others from inducements to use tobacco products and the consequent dependence on them;

— protect the health of young persons by restricting access to tobacco products; and

— enhance public awareness of the health hazards of using tobacco products.

In recent years, scientific data verify that, depending upon how smokers use cigarettes, "light" and "mild" cigarettes may deliver the same amount of tar and nicotine to smokers as "regular" cigarettes and can be as harmful to their health. Nevertheless, a number of smokers believe that switching to cigarettes labelled "light" and "mild" reduces their exposure to harmful substances. In addition, recently released industry documents indicate that the tobacco industry believes that the marketing of brands labelled with these descriptors:

— provide consumer reassurance;

— may have kept some smokers from quitting;

— may have delayed cessation in others; and

— may have encouraged more girls and young women to take up smoking because of the implied suggestion of lower risks and milder taste or ease of smoking.

In view of the above, the Department of Health has determined that removing these descriptors from tobacco product packaging would be a means of health protection and in the best interest of public health.

Tobacco Use

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness and death in Canada and is the known or probable cause of more than 20 debilitating — often fatal — diseases of the lungs, heart and other organs. At least one-fifth of all deaths of adults between the ages of 35 and 84, or more than 45 000 Canadians each year, is attributed to tobacco use.(see footnote 1) The use of tobacco products also has a significant impact on the health of non-smokers. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke is associated with various diseases, some deadly.

Currently, approximately six million Canadians use tobacco products. Over the past decade, the prevalence of smoking among Canadians aged 15 and older has continued to inch downwards, decreasing from 30 percent in 1990 to 24 percent in 2000.(see footnote 2)

Historical Background

The 1962 Royal College of Physicians Report in the United Kingdom and the 1964 U.S. Surgeon General's Report conclusively linked tobacco use to health problems, particularly lung cancer. The publication of these reports resulted in more smokers becoming worried about tobacco-related health risks.(see footnote 3),(see footnote 4)

Concurrently, many people believed that reducing the amount of tobacco smoke inhaled by smokers would lower the rates of death and lung disease. Indeed, the U.S. National Cancer Institute embarked on the "low tar" cigarette program which influenced public policy in many countries, including Canada.

In the 1970s, the Canadian government and the tobacco industry made efforts to collaborate to reduce the "tar" yields. "Tar" yields were reduced by diluting the smoke through ventilation holes added to the filters, and to a lesser degree through increased paper porosity. Up until the mid-1980s, the Department of National Health and Welfare (now the Department of Health) periodically published tables of brand-specific tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide yields (as determined by smoking machines), along with reminders that all cigarettes were unsafe and that smokers who could not quit should, among other strategies, try switching to lower-yield brands.

By 1986, the Department of National Health and Welfare had determined in response to growing public concerns about tobacco and the slowness of decline of smoking in Canada that an entirely new policy approach to the tobacco issue was required. Key elements of this approach included a move away from the tobacco industry's voluntary code towards comprehensive regulation, as well as a policy goal oriented towards the reduction of tobacco use to the greatest extent feasible.

Tobacco industry documents that have recently become available indicate that by the time the Department had made these determinations, the tobacco manufacturers had positioned their marketing and promotional efforts on "light" and "mild" product descriptors, with a view to mitigating smokers' health concerns. The tobacco industry neglected to inform consumers about the impact of these descriptors on their health.

Current Situation

A significant percentage of smokers smoke "light" or "mild" products. A 1998 survey conducted by Environics indicated that 59 percent smoke "light" or "mild" cigarettes. Of these, 69 percent switched from regular cigarettes and 39 percent switched for health reasons.(see footnote 5)

Some smokers adjust their smoking behaviour when they switch to "light" or "mild" products by inhaling on the product deeper and longer, by puffing more frequently or by covering the ventilation holes. For these individuals, the net effect of this behaviour, termed compensation, is that they may inhale as much or more toxic smoke constituents from a cigarette labelled "light" or "mild" as from a regular cigarette.

Any proposed Regulations would not modify the products currently on the market but rather would require manufacturers to remove "light" and "mild" descriptors on tobacco product packages.

While "light" or "mild" products may have been used by the industry as a strategy to encourage smokers to continue to smoke, there were some smokers who used these products as part of a cessation strategy. Currently 18 percent of the smokers who have switched (see footnote 6) to "light" or "mild" products will be able to continue to use these products on their way to quitting since these products would likely remain on the market, albeit under a descriptor which is not perceived to attribute health.

Expected Public Health Benefits

It is expected that the largest public health benefits associated with removing the descriptors "light" and "mild" would come from those smokers who believe products labelled as "light" and "mild" are less harmful. The Department of Health believes that removing this source of confusion would result in an increase in the number of current smokers who would be more likely to attempt to quit. The benefits would stem from an increase in smokers who would actually succeed in quitting.

International Action on "Light" and "Mild" Descriptors

Framework Convention on Tobacco Control

An international Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is currently being negotiated. The draft 2000-2001 "Chairman's Text" includes a proposed provision on "light" and "mild." This provision would prohibit the use on any tobacco product packaging, of terms like "light" and "mild" or any similar term that has the aim, or direct or indirect effect, of conveying the impression that a particular tobacco product is less harmful than others.

Brazil

On March 28, 2001, Brazil passed a regulation that will prohibit the use of terms like "light," "ultra light," "suave," "smooth," "soft," "mild" and others on tobacco product packaging by December 31, 2001.

European Union

On April 5, 2001, a new European Union (EU) Directive on the "manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products" was adopted. It used language similar to that found in the draft FCTC text to propose the prohibition of "text, names, trademarks and figurative or other signs suggesting that a particular tobacco product is less harmful than others" on packaging. The Directive is to take effect by September 30, 2003, and each of the EU Member States is to bring into force the law, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with it.

Request for Voluntary Removal

On May 30, 2001, the Minister of Health wrote to Canadian tobacco manufacturers and importers known to sell products labelled as "light" and "mild," requesting removal of such terms. Tobacco manufacturers have not removed "light" and "mild" descriptors from their existing products.

Proposed Regulations

Pursuant to the Tobacco Act, the Department is considering regulations to prohibit manufacturers and importers from selling a tobacco product in a package displaying the terms "light" or "mild" and solicits views of interested stakeholders on the development of these Regulations.
