A Canadian smuggler, in an interview with the Center for Public Integrity, said the same thing. One investigator, who wished to remain anonymous, said in an interview that Bravo was murdered because he was skimming from a mob smuggling network for which he collected the money. Police later found in his home stacks of cash and documents related to the cigarette smuggling business. "Canada must continue to take decisive action to reduce tobacco use.Dino Bravo, a former World Wrestling Federation wrestler and mob enforcer, was sitting in his leather recliner, programming his new VCR on March 12, 1993, when two men walked into his luxury home just north of Montreal and shot him seven times in the head. Requiring warnings directly on cigarettes - the first country to do so - will help to reduce their appeal, particularly for youth," said Terry Dean, president and CEO of the Canadian Lung Association. "The bold measures announced today to strengthen tobacco product labeling will ensure the dangers of these products to lung health cannot be missed. Current messaging and images have been in place on some products since 2011 and on others for more than 20 years. The country first began using warnings that contained pictures on tobacco product packages in 2000. Among the changes are strengthening health-related messages on tobacco products, extending the requirement to all tobacco packages, and beginning to rotate messages. The regulations will support Canada's Tobacco Strategy, which has set a target of reaching less than 5 percent tobacco use by 2035. They will appear on individual king-size cigarettes by late July 2024 and on regular cigarettes, little cigars with tipping paper, and tubes by the end of April 2025. Retailers and smokers will start to see these new messages on cigarette packaging by the end of April 2024. "We will continue to do whatever it takes to help more people in Canada stop smoking and help young people to live healthy, tobacco-free lives." "This bold step will make health warning messages virtually unavoidable, and together with updated graphic images displayed on the package, will provide a real and startling reminder of the health consequences of smoking," Carolyn Bennett, Canada Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, said in a Health Canada news release announcing the new labeling. The country will be the first in the world to print these warnings directly on individual cigarettes.
