Canada's big tobacco settlement falls short: provinces face a massive financial gap in covering tobacco-related costs, says national lung health alliance

Toronto, march 06, 2025 (globe newswire) -- the national lung health alliance (nlha) acknowledges today's approval of canada's $32.5 billion big tobacco settlement, but canada's most powerful lung health advocacy network warns that the funding is nowhere near enough to cover the true cost of tobacco-related disease and addiction in canada. while this settlement was intended to offset the devastating impact of tobacco, the provincial allocations pale in comparison to the billions of dollars governments spend annually on healthcare costs stemming from tobacco use.
