加拿大反吸烟团体敦促各省使用32.5B烟草定居地实施保健方案。 Canadian anti-smoking groups urge provinces to use $32.5B tobacco settlement for health programs.

加拿大的反吸烟倡导者正在敦促各省将325亿美元的烟草解决方案的一部分用于公共卫生方案。 Anti-smoking advocates in Canada are urging provinces to use a portion of a $32.5 billion tobacco settlement for public health programs. 这项解决方案于3月获得批准,要求主要烟草公司向各省、领土和前吸烟者支付数十亿美元。 The settlement, approved in March, requires major tobacco companies to pay billions to provinces, territories, and former smokers. 尽管加拿大的吸烟记录最低,但仍有约400万吸烟者,每年造成约46 000名与烟草有关的死亡。 Despite Canada's lowest recorded smoking levels, there are still around 4 million smokers, causing about 46,000 tobacco-related deaths annually. 倡导者希望将资金用于减少烟草,认为该协议缺乏限制该行业招募新吸烟者的措施。 Advocates want the funds to be used for tobacco reduction, arguing that the agreement lacks measures to limit the industry's recruitment of new smokers. 各省定于本周五收到初次付款。 Provinces are set to receive initial payments this Friday.
