To reduce youth vaping and show a deep concern for public health, Canada always takes necessary measures to safeguard public health, especially when it comes to youth vaping. In 2024, Canada's ban on most vape flavours, except for tobacco, mint, and menthol, is a part of their ongoing efforts. It's remarkable to see how countries are taking steps to protect their citizens. On the other hand, it will pave the way for smoking cigarettes, which is more hazardous for people's health and also for the environment.
Let's understand the Canada's Vape Flavour Restrictions:
Canada comes forward and plays a battle against youth vaping. According to the Canadian Government, Vapes destroy the youth's health and have a detrimental effect on youth. That's why they are taking strong steps and implementing restrictions on vape flavours. Let's dive into Canada's proactive measures for the well-being of the younger generation:
Canada's new health minister relaunched a three-year-old restriction plan to ban vape flavours. Here are some restricted points regarding the flavours under this plan:
- Canada prohibits all sweeteners in vaping products and allows approved ingredients for vape liquid creations.
- Vape manufacturers have to choose 82 approved compounds.
- Vape manufacturers need to reformulate existing products to comply with approved ingredient lists.
- Any combination, such as menthol and mint, is not allowed.
- Legitimate vaping is removed within 180 days.
- Only unflavoured liquids and unadulterated menthol products will be available on the market.
- Manufacturers are restricted from creating value products with highly pleasant tastes or smells.
Can vape shops navigate the vaping industry under these restrictions?
The new restrictions undoubtedly present a significant challenge for vape shops. The implementation of flavour restrictions not only affects these businesses but also creates an opportunity for cigarette factories to increase their supply. This could potentially harm smokers and those around them, creating a serious situation for Canadian citizens.
