Only 3 of 40+ tobacco-related diseases are covered in the approved tobacco settlement.

We’re helping Manitobans understand who may be eligible for compensation.

Not sure if you or a loved one qualifies for compensation from the tobacco settlement? We’ve created a helpful fact sheet to explain who may be eligible and how to prepare.

A @UAlberta study finds vaping during pregnancy raises adverse outcomes for mothers and newborns by 53%. E-cigarettes should be avoided during pregnancy. Healthcare providers must guide expectant mothers in cessation efforts. https://t.co/ykOPPpG9Zb

Recent data from @GovCanHealth shows 1 in 3 teenagers have vaped, far higher than previous estimates.

Youth vaping is at crisis levels, yet federal flavour restrictions remain unfinished. The longer we wait, the more harm is done. Canada must act now.

Scammers may try to take advantage of the class-action payout against tobacco companies. Be cautious of anyone asking for payment to join the settlement. It’s not required.

[4/4] If you think you or a family member may be eligible, please sign up for email updates at one of the above websites to be informed when the claims process has begun.

We’re also tracking the proceedings and sharing updates here: https://t.co/DWw2o5PEBJ

[1/4] Important update on the Pan-Canadian Tobacco Proceedings:

This legal process is holding tobacco companies accountable, and a claims process will be available for people with certain smoking-related illnesses.

As of today, it has NOT yet been approved by the Court.

[Manitoba Nicotine & Tobacco Reduction Alliance @MANTRAinc]

[3/4] The claims process:
✅ Does not require legal guidance
✅ Does not require a fee
✅ Does not allow applications before Court approval

It’s 2025 and yet 80% of this year’s Best Picture nominees featured tobacco imagery. While we can’t control what Hollywood produces, we can hold the Canadian film industry to a higher standard by advocating for tobacco-free storytelling.

This National Non-Smoking Week, we’re going back to basics with snail mail!

We mailed letters to organizations across Manitoba, sharing info about MANTRA and sending Vape-Free & Smoke-Free Motivation Meters to support their work.

46,000 Canadians die each year from tobacco use. Before court approval in January, we hope the proposal is amended to fund education & prevention programs. This is critical to empower informed decisions & reduce the devastating toll of commercial tobacco. https://t.co/6e16S3o0HG

Creditors voted in favour of the proposed Big Tobacco Settlement yesterday – as deliberations continue, we strongly urge the expansion of the $1B foundation to focus on awareness, prevention and helping smokers quit. Read more: https://t.co/yWyZ4FOoaz

Creditors are expected to vote today on a proposed settlement that would see three major tobacco manufacturers pay out billions to provinces and territories, as well as smokers across Canada. https://t.co/KDYHF1L7Qn

[Manitoba Nicotine & Tobacco Reduction Alliance @MANTRAinc]

The proposed tobacco settlement lets Big Tobacco profit while Manitobans pay the price. It fails to reduce addiction or support public health. Demand better.

We were proud to support @OurOwnHealth at their fundraiser for 2SLGBTQ+ health. Smoking and vaping rates are higher in this community, causing physical, financial, and mental health challenges. It was great to chat with @UAsagwara about tackling these impacts across Manitoba.
