Some provinces have put regulations in place banning most flavoured vaping products, but some health organizations want the federal government to get involved.
“Menthol took a very harmful product and made it smoother,” he said. “Flavours were taking a far less harmful product, by at least 95 per cent, and making it more palatable. It’s not the same thing.”
Part of the concern is while vape products like e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, nicotine is still an ingredient and, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Addiction in the U.S., is an addictive substance that can be harmful to people at any age, but especially youth. “So there are concerns there about long term addiction to nicotine and the potential to then transition to other products from a lung health perspective,” said Sarah Butson, public affairs and policy analyst with the Canadian Lung Association, which also lobbies federally for a variety of regulatory changes including tougher tobacco restrictions and public safety measures.
Daily vaping is also higher among younger Canadians, with 6.5 per cent of 15 to 19-year-olds and 10 per cent of 20 to 24-year-olds saying they do so on a daily basis, while just two per cent of those 25 and older do the same.
