The Canadian Vaping Association: Quebec’s proposed vape policy is a failure to public health
BEAMSVILLE, Ontario, Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) With Quebec’s proposed flavour ban looming, it is clear that Minister Dube has not been paying attention. Minister Dube has chosen to remain wilfully ignorant to the science supporting vaping as harm reduction. Flavours are the key to adult adoption and success.

The Canadian Vaping Association (CVA) has been a consistent advocate for strong youth protection measures and has worked with many governments to create a framework that balances youth protection with adult access. While our organization agrees with some of the proposed measures, others will have the unintended consequence of pushing ex-smokers back to smoking.
