•U of C health students want province to implement stronger restrictions on vaping
69% Informative
Stop Addicting Adolescents to Vaping and E-cigarettes ( SAAVE ) canvassed all 86 Alberta MLAs.
SAAVE is an advocacy group comprised of 38 University of Calgary health science undergraduates and high school students.
The group wants the government to consider banning all vaping flavours other than tobacco, to ban single-use vaping devices and to require retailers to stock all vaping products behind the counter.
Health Minister Adriana LaGrange's office says the province has taken a balanced approach to regulating vaping and e-cigarettes.
“It’s important to understand people in this position have an addiction and if you give them a product that tastes much better, it’s an easier transition for them away from smoking.” Rather than prohibiting flavoured products, Tam argued the most effective strategy to curb youth access to e-cigarettes is by enforcing existing regulations, imposing substantial fines and suspending licences for non-compliant businesses. “When it comes to youth protection, we all agree we don’t want youth to vape,” he said. — With files from Jackie Carmichael .
