2024
Canada scores better than the average scores of countries in its region and income group, and higher than the global average, yet there is ample room for improvement relative to top performing countries.
Component Score
2024
Canada scores well in price and tax structure, mid-range in tax share, and poorly in affordability change. Canada would greatly benefit from reducing cigarette affordability.
Scores Over Time
Canada's overall score increased between 2014 and 2020, but it decreased in 2022 and remained unchanged in 2024 because of a sharp reduction in the affordability change score and a decrease in the cigarette price score.
