Health Canada is proposing new initiatives this spring to get the number of Canadians who use tobacco to below the current 5% of  the population who admit to using tobacco, including the 3.9 million Canadians who admit to being smokers. They would like to see this number to drop below 5% by the year 2035, as at the current rate some are predicting that 9% of Canadians will be smoking by the year 2036.

In the newly released paper, Health Canada proposes several different initiatives to tackle the tobacco problem, specifically looking at how to prevent youth and young adults from taking up smoking, as their rates of smoking have remained unchanged since 2013.

These initiatives included:

• raising the minimum age of purchasing tobacco products to 21 years of age
• tighten controls on contraband tobacco products, in order to protect the underage purchase of tobacco
• enforce new smoke-free and vapour-free spaces in multiple unit dwellings (e.g. apartments, residences, condos), campuses, public spaces and parks
• reduce the addictiveness of tobacco products sold in Canada

In the paper, Health Canada cites many reasons for exploring these new options, but some of the more poignant takeaways from the research included:

• tobacco is the leading cause of premature death in Canada
• more than 37,000 Canadians die from illnesses caused by smoking each year
• ….that’s one Canadian every 14 minutes
• the burdens of tobacco use on the Canadian economy are no joke; there are $17 billion in health care and indirect economic costs each year

But, with all that said, Health Canada is looking for you to give your input. You can send a letter to the government at this address:

Consultations on the Future of Tobacco Control in Canada
Room 1605-626
Mail Stop 0301A
150 Tunney’s Pasture Driveway
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0K9

Or, you can send an email to: [email protected].

If you do intend on sending a letter/email, be sure to disclose any instances of conflict of interest you may have with the tobacco industry, or the vaping industry.

If you’ve ever held a Hudson’s Bay Collection throw, then you know exactly why today’s deal from Hudson’s Bay Canada is such a special one. For today only, you can buy an ever sought after Hudson’s Bay Company Collection Cashmink Throw for just $50 (usually these bad boys sell for close to $100!)

Hudson’s Bay throws are some of the warmest and most iconically Canadian products that you can have in your home, apart from maybe having a moose in your own backyard! I know my roommate has one of these chunky cash mink throws and I am routinely stealing it from her when she’s not looking, but now I can actually afford to buy my own since they’re on sale for nearly 50% off the regular price!

Some other great finds from today’s deal of the day from Hudson’s Bay Canada can be found in the Hudson’s Bay Company Collection sale, but towards the bottom of the page where there are smaller ticket items that have also been discounted for 25% off, but since they’re smaller items you can really see the discount working in your favour.

For instance, this Hudson’s Bay Company Charles Pachter Canvas Tote is currently on sale for just $13.50 (originally $18), while this travel mug is on sale for just $11.50 (regularly $15).

The Hudson’s Bay offers FREE shipping on orders that are $45+ (or $29 on beauty orders) when you pay with your Hudson’s Bay credit card or $99 ($49 on beauty orders) with all other forms of tender.

If you have the tear pad coupon for 75 cents off any Saputo cheese you may not have realized that it expires on February the 28th, giving you just 2 days to use them up. You may want to take those coupons and head to No Frills this week.

Saputo cheese slices 90/100g are advertised this week for $2, and with your 75 cent coupon this makes them just $1.25 per package. This may not be the cheapest cheese at $1.25 per 100 grams, but they are convenient, better than processed cheese, and you can get a wide variety of cheese like Provolone, and Havarti. If you have a lot of those coupons left you could also freeze these for future use. Freezing cheese sometimes alters the texture a little bit when thawed but it usually turns out okay.

Lowe’s Canada has a great little find today on this functional and stylish Suncast Wicker Deck box where you can save 40% off on the regular price no matter if you’re picking up the 124-gal, 99-gal, or 70-gal box! The sale says that it’s going to last until February 7th, 2022, but I imagine they’ll run out of stock before then, particularly at these prices.

The 124-gal wicker deck box is usually sold at Lowe’s for $179, but is now being sold for just $107.40, while the 99-gal box was being sold for $159 and is now just $95.40, and last the 70-gal box was previously being sold for $139, but is now just $69.50!

The box would be ideal for storing deck pillows at night during the summer months, and then could easily be converted into an extra seat during the daytime by simply throwing a pillow or blanket over the wicker box. Very multifunctional!

Lowe’s offers FREE shipping on all orders that are $49 or more.
