Warning Labels on Cigarettes & Outliving Your Money

from Zoomer Week in Review · host Zoomer Podcast Network

It’s a world first that experts hope will have a huge impact. As of August 1, Canada will become the first country in the world to print warning labels directly on individual cigarettes. They will carry messages like "poison in every puff" and "cigarettes cause cancer". The hope is that this will deter new smokers and encourage more quitting. Libby Znaimer reached Rob Cunningham of the Canadian Cancer Society. AND It’s a conundrum for both the rich and the poor. Zoomers worry about outliving their money. It is the result of good news, that we are living longer, but the problem is not knowing how much we will need and when. It can prevent us from enjoying our hard earned money when we are alive. Of course, it is worse for those who don’t have enough to handle rising prices and rampant inflation. The National Institute on Ageing had an in-depth look at the stress of this uncertainty and Libby talked with Dr. Samir Sinha.
