Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
Young women are smoking at a much higher rate than are males of the same age. This is especially disturbing in light of the news that U.S. tobacco companies are adding some 600 chemicals to their cigarettes, 13 of which have been proven hazardous to human health.
What steps is the minister taking to ensure that Canadian cigarette manufacturers make the public aware of all such additives in their products?
