Ontario, Canada reintroduces bill to stop youth vaping
A lawmaker in Ontario, Canada, has reintroduced a bill to help prevent young people from vaping. If passed, the bill would raise the legal age to sell products to 21, ban the promotion of vaping products, limit sales to vaping shops, and require Ontario Health to report annually on vaping use.
According to local media reports, the bill has won praise from the Lung Health Association and the Canadian Cancer Society, both of which have said greater government oversight is needed. Both point to Health Canada statistics that say symptoms of vaping or vaping-related illness can include cough, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
"We restrict the sale of marijuana, we're limited to specialty store sales, we don't sell marijuana at convenience stores or gas stations, but we sell cigarettes and vaping products at gas stations - it shouldn't be." Rob of the Canadian Cancer Society Cunningham said.
However, the Canadian Vaping Association says not so fast. It said the measures being taken were shortsighted. Executive director Darryl Tempest said the issue was complex and the proposed legislation did not target things like alcohol or tobacco.
“E-cigarettes are far more effective at getting people to quit combustible tobacco, and the Royal College of Physicians has proven for seven years that it is 95% less harmful than smoking – what are the considerations in this legislation?”
One thing we need to understand, he said, is that smoking, especially combustible smoking, is the largest form of preventable death in the United States. According to his data, there are more than 4 million smokers in Canada, 1.1 million of whom opt for less harmful alternatives.
