The Canadian Vaping Association (CVA) is up in arms over Quebec's proposed flavour ban on vaping products. The association has warned that the ban will hurt the province's economy and weaken youth protection. In a recent move, the Government of Quebec released the Official Gazette of Quebec, proposing a ban on flavoured nicotine vaping products, except for tobacco flavour. The Gazette also proposed a volume limit of 2 mL on prefilled devices and a limit of 30 mL on refill containers. Additionally, the draft regulations would restrict nicotine concentrations to 20 mg/mL and prohibit the use of any form, appearance, or function that may be attractive to minors, both of which have already been regulated by the federal government. The CVA has expressed its concerns about the proposed regulations, stating that vaping is a proven harm reduction tool that is significantly less harmful than smoking. The CVA argues that there is substantial evidence from jurisdictions that have already ...

In a significant development in the battle against teen vaping, JUUL, a leading vape manufacturer, has agreed to pay $112.7 million to the state of New York to help young New Yorkers quit vaping. The company has reached a $462 million legal agreement with six states and Washington DC over its alleged role in contributing to the rise in underage e-cigarette use. Led by Attorneys General Letitia James of New York and Rob Bonta of California, the company will also be required to treat synthetic nicotine as actual nicotine, limit the amount of purchases an individual can make, and not use anyone under the age of 35 in advertising.

The UK government has announced a "swap to stop" scheme that will offer vape starter kits to one million cigarette smokers in England, in a bid to make the nation smoke-free. Health Minister Neil O'Brien revealed the program on Tuesday, calling it the "first of its kind in the world." Pregnant women who quit smoking will receive up to £400, and mandatory advice on quitting smoking will be added to cigarette packs. This move has been praised as a "welcome step in the right direction" by campaigners, but they also say that it is "nowhere near sufficient." Experts predict that the government's pledge to get the nation smoke-free by 2030, which aims to reduce smoking rates to less than 5%, will be missed without further action. In this article, we will discuss the UK government's "swap to stop" scheme, the benefits of vaping as a means to quit smoking, and the criticisms of the program.

Anti-youth-vaping advertisements that try to be cool or scare teens often don’t work well, according to Zach Keenen, creative group lead at marketing agency Haberman. This statement prompted Keenen and his team to take a different approach when the Minnesota Department of Health hired them to conduct a campaign. Instead of trying to be cool, they chose to create a character that embodies the opposite of whatever on-trend-coolness thing that kids are into right now. Thus, Norm Davidson, proprietor of 1-833-HEY-NORM, “Minnesota’s first and only teen-focused vape talk service,” was born.

Vaping has become an increasingly popular method of smoking cessation and tobacco harm reduction in recent years.

Palau, a tiny island nation in the western Pacific, has become the latest country to ban e-cigarettes, vapes, and related products. The law, RPPL 11-27, signed by President Surangel Whipps Jr on March 29, expands the Tobacco Control Act to include e-cigarettes and will take effect 60 days after being enacted.

In this article, we will discuss the implications of Palau’s e-cigarette ban, the reasons behind it, and the reactions of the public and stakeholders.

Belfast City Council is taking action to tackle the growing problem of vaping among children and young adults. UUP Councillor and Doctor John Kyle has proposed a motion to the council, calling for a working group to be established to strengthen current legislation and enforcement in relation to vaping. The motion also seeks to ban the use of vapes by all under 18's on all council premises. Vaping has become a common practice among young people, with many unaware of the dangers associated with it. The motion highlights the fact that these products are addictive, damaging to health, and often contain illegal substances. The legislation covering their sale is inadequate, with no registration of retailers, no restriction on the display of products, and no resources to identify harmful additives. Many disposable vapes are designed to be attractive to children and pose an environmental and health risk when discarded in the street.

The Finance Ministry is pushing for the removal of liquid nicotine from the Poisons List to expedite the legalisation of these products and boost government revenue through taxation.
