MONTREAL — The Quebec government is modifying the province’s anti\u002Dtobacco law to crack down on vaping, including by banning the sale of flavoured products.
“More than a quarter of young people started smoking cigarettes after they started vaping because they are addicted to nicotine,” Kevin Bilodeau, the group’s director for Quebec government relations, said in a statement.
“Flavours are special because at first taste we can think it’s inoffensive or not dangerous, but in fact it’s the way used by the industry to attract new consumers.” Gagnon said that while the company agrees that minors should neither smoke nor vape, it doesn’t think prohibition works.Article content Dube acknowledged that some people who want flavoured vapes will be able to procure them illegally or online, but he said banning their sale in the province was still the right thing to do, noting that similar calculations had been made when the state restricted cigarette flavours.
