Do you vape at all?

Back in June 2021, citing a "rapid increase in youth vaping in Canada," Health Canada vowed to restrict vaping flavours to mint, menthol and tobacco. Three years after that warning, Canada now has one of the highest teen vaping rates in the world; Statistics Canada reports nearly half of all young adults have tried vaping. Most new vape users — 86 per cent — were never cigarette smokers, according to the most recent Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey. Do you agree that vaping flavours should be restricted to mint, menthol and tobacco?

Adult smokers rely on vaping as a less-harmful option to cigarettes and appealing flavours make switching easier for them, said Sam Tam, president of the Canadian Vaping Association. "A blanket flavour ban will do absolutely nothing to protect Canadians, especially our youth," he said. Do you think banning vape flavours will protect Canada's youth?
