Canada became the first country in the world to have individual warning labels on each cigarette after its regulations officially rolled out on Tuesday, with king-size cigarettes the first to be wrapped with the new information.

Warning labels on cigarette packaging isn't new, but this is the first time any country has put the labels directly on the cigarettes themselves, with advocates hoping it will help deter smoking further as people will see the warning as they light up.

As Sean Previl reports, it's part of the federal government's effort to get tobacco use below five per cent by 2035 and why some in the tobacco industry say it misses the mark.
