The following reports and papers were prepared with funding from Health Canada's Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) to disseminate findings from the International Tobacco Control (ITC) Canada Survey - a national cohort survey of 3,800 adult cigarette smokers, vapers, and users of other nicotine products. The documents provide evidence on how Canada's plain packaging law, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other tobacco and vaping regulatory measures have impacted smokers and vapers in Canada. All documents are available in English and French.

The views expressed in these documents do not necessarily represent the views of Health Canada.
