Ottawa Public Health is urging the placement of graphic warning labels on cannabis packages sold in Canada, but while experts say they've been effective in reducing cigarette smoking, it's unclear if it would have the same effect for cannabis.

Ottawa Public Health is calling for more graphic warning labels on cannabis products sold in Canada, but industry insiders say the packaging is already heavily restricted.

"The packages for cannabis, everything is designed so that you can't get in it," says Dufour. “The packaging that's on there, you don't see it until you’ve bought it. You don't actually get that until you've gone and bought this product. I've sold you on it already. I'm handing you a package. The package is nondescript, it's covered with information about what's in it, and in most cases, they're barely enough packaging.

In a statement sent to CTV News, Ottawa Public Health said, “OPH supports the addition of visual symbols to compliment health warning statements such as 'not for kids.' Including images along with text allows the consumer to make a more informed decision." Picture-based warnings have been a mandatory feature on cigarette packages since 2001, and soon health warnings will be directly printed on individual cigarettes. Cunningham believes that these warnings have made a significant difference.
