A student advocacy group to prevent youth nicotine addiction says it wants the Alberta and federal governments to place a ban on all fruity and sweet vape juices.
"Flavours such as menthol or fruity flavours can also attract youth to be more likely to be wanting to partake in smoking or start these addictions because they're more accessible," said Lisa Wei, a member of Stop Addicting Adolescents to Vaping and E-Cigarettes .
Forty per cent did not respond but two UCP MLAs agreed vapes should be sold behind a pharmacy counter. Gregory Langston and Nancy Yip both say a ban of flavoured vapes will cause significant harm to thousands of small-business owners nationwide. "We heard from former smokers that the availability of flavoured vaping products assisted them in quitting. However, we also heard that these flavours may attract youth to use vaping products," said spokesperson Jessi Rampton.
