Ban to deter young people from trying e-cigarettes to take effect April 1 as industry advocates argue a ban could deter adult smokers from trying vaping alternative

In a survey, more than half of young e-cigarette users cited flavouring as the top reason they tried vapingNova Scotia will become the first province to ban flavoured e-cigarette products, a move that is expected to spark similar changes across the country.

“The increased use of vaping, along with a lack of understanding about the potential health risks associated with vaping, is sending us in the wrong direction.” Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health, said in a news release. “Candy and other flavours are clearly being marketed to young people and research shows that flavoured e-cigarettes encourage young people to vape and can lead them to start using tobacco products.

New PEI legislation will set the legal age to purchase e-cigarettes or tobacco to 21, which is the highest in the country, and will only allow vaping products to be sold in specialty shops, not convenience stores or gas stations.

What about the vape itself?
