<None of which shows that x percent of smokers quit because of these warnings while y percent would have quit with American style warnings and that x is signifigantly greater then y> Plenty of evidence that shows it is having a effect. Another great lobbyist answer, I have to admit. Big Tobacco is going to spin just like big pharma. Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey The national smoking rate is now at its lowest level in more than three decades of monitoring smoking. An estimated 5.7 million people, or 23% of the population aged 15 and over, smoked either daily or occasionally during the first half of 2002, according to the Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey. This the lowest level since regular monitoring of smoking began in 1965, when an estimated 50% of the population smoked. Twenty-five percent of men were smokers, compared with 21% of women. The lowest prevalence rate was in British Columbia, where about 17% of those aged 15 and over were smokers. Manitoba and Prince Edward Island, both at 28%, were among the provinces with highest smoking rates.
