" Adding health warnings on individual tobacco products will help ensure that these essential messages reach people, " Ms Bennett told reporters.
She added that photo warnings on cigarette packets - introduced in Canada in 2001 - were no longer as effective as the government had hoped.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada welcomed the new proposal.
" Canada will now have The Strongest health warning regime for cigarettes in The World , " The Foundation 's CEO, Doug Roth was quoted as saying by Canada's CBC public broadcaster.
" These are deadly products, and these measures will help to further reduce their appeal to youth and non-smokers, as well as to support current smokers in their efforts to quit. "
