Dr. Doug Coyle of the University of Ottawa suggests that if the Canadian government were to implement a “smoke-free generation” policy there would be massive health benefits. His study estimates that the policy would result in $2.3 billion less in health care costs and lead to 476,814 more quality-adjusted life years for Canadians over a 50-year timespan.
