    Vancouver City proposes banning vape ads & other restrictions to curb youth vaping.

    Vancouver City proposes a motion to ban vape ads & minimum distances between vape shops and schools.

    Lisa Dominato has put forward a motion to limit the sale and promotion of vape equipment and Vape Ads within Vancouver City.

    There are currently no restrictions on the sales of vaping products and she is looking to change that.

    Counselor Rebecca Bligh wants restrictions that would limit how close vaping shops can be to schools as well as youth-oriented facilities. She is also looking to ban any advertisements on city-owned properties.

    The Health Minister of British Columbia stated on October 29 that British Columbia is planning regulatory action that would involve education, youth empowerment, and governmental pressure regarding the use of vaping in British Columbia.

    If this motion passes, Dominato is looking to have a framework available for early 2020

    Dominato stated “It feels like we are a little bit in catch-up mode” when discussing this motion.

    From our perspective at Canada Vapes, we appreciate the effort being made by any municipalities working to restrict access to vaping products for youth. We believe it’s equally important to ensure all retail locations of vaping products in British Columbia, as well as across Canada, are being regulated to ensure they are not selling the products to minors. Vaping nicotine e-liquid is a product and service designed for adult smokers looking to transition to a safer alternative.

    Nova Scotia Proposes province wide e-cigarette legislation

    The new proposed legislation will proses aggressive restrictions against electronic cigarettes province-wide.  These potential relations would include:

    • Restrictions of selling e-cigarettes to those 19+
    • No displaying e-cigarettes on stores
    • No advertising e-cigarettes
    • Ban the use of e-cigarettes indoors
    • Ban any ‘flavorings’ added to e-liquid, except menthol

    Health Minister Leo Glavine stated that the government wants to change the definition of smoke to include water pipes and vapour from e-cigarettes.  He stated that steps are needed to address emerging evidence that e-cigarettes pose a health risk, especially to young people.  What this evidence is was not clearly defined.   There are at least 200 studies showing e-cigarettes as successful harm reduction products.

    Those opposed, including imperial tobacco state that the province of Nova Scotia is making a ‘big mistake’ by regulating e-cigarettes lumped together with tobacco cigarettes.

    We need e-cigarette users from Across Canada to ban together in an attempt to let our government know that we do not want our choices away from us.  Banning flavoured e-liquid would effectively reduce the choices for Nova Scotia vapers to no flavour and menthol.
