[edit] Summary

Scanned Canadian cigarette package, showing the exterior.

This scan is given freely to the public domain. The image of the brand is probably fair use; the warning image was developed by the Canadian government.

Note the "Toxic Emissions/Unit" table on the side of the package.

[edit] Fair use in Tobacco packaging warning messages

While this image is copyrighted, I believe it qualifies as fair use under U.S. copyright law because:

It illustrates the Canadian warning label on an actual package of cigarettes
The warning is a work of the Canadian government, and I assume the Canadian government is not making any money off putting the label on cigarette packages.
No free equivalent could be created
Use on Wikipedia does not limit the ability to market Number 7 cigarettes, except insofar as the warning label discourages people from smoking.
