Protect Alberta Kids: Help us secure a provincial ban on flavoured vaping products

Please take a moment to protect Alberta kids from flavoured vaping products.

Fifty-thousand Alberta youth in grades 6 to 12 are now using nicotine vaping products and the vast majority are flavoured.

Flavourings are a primary reason why kids are drawn to vaping products and there are many to choose from including cherry, chocolate, banana, mint, grape, menthol, mango—and the list goes on.

Tobacco and vaping companies have been very creative in targeting children and youth with highly addictive and enticing flavouring products, and aggressive marketing campaigns.

Don’t let tobacco and vaping companies target Alberta kids with flavoured nicotine products.

You can help us secure a provincial ban on these appealing and addictive products. It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

We urge the Alberta government to protect kids by adopting strong regulations to ban all flavoured vaping products with the sole exception of “tobacco” flavoured products to help adult smokers quit smoking.

There are now 50,000 Alberta youth in grades 6 to 12 who are using vaping products. That’s 50,000 too many!

The youth vaping crisis has been fueled by the widespread promotion of highly addictive flavoured vaping products in retail stores, on social media, and even in high schools. Schools are ground-zero in the youth vaping epidemic.

Tobacco and vaping companies have produced many flavoured vaping products that appeal to kids including berry, chocolate, mint, menthol, strawberry, mango, raspberry, fudge, etc.

Published studies have revealed that flavoured vaping products are contributing to high vaping rates among youth and many kids are getting addicted to these nicotine products. Kids who vape are four times as likely to start smoking, facing the many health risks associated with tobacco use.

Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have already banned flavoured vaping products except for tobacco flavoured devices and liquids. The states of New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts have also banned these products.

Canada’s Chief Medical Officers of Health are urging provincial governments to ban flavoured vaping products to protect youth from nicotine addiction and potential tobacco use.

Three out of four Canadians support a comprehensive flavour ban on vaping products according to a national Pollara survey of 1,900 people conducted in February 2020.

Alberta youth deserve first-class protection from flavoured vaping products and nicotine addiction. Don’t let tobacco and vaping companies recruit more kids with flavoured nicotine products. Please protect Alberta kids from nicotine addiction and potential tobacco use by adopting strong regulations to ban all flavoured vaping products except for tobacco flavoured products.
