Two Canadian health advocacy groups launched a public awareness campaign Wednesday taking aim at flavoured vape products, with a pointed advertisement that highlights how the products are marketed to children.
Stocking stuffers with a kick moved briskly off the shelves at Nova Scotia's government-operated cannabis shops and at other Canadian vendors that managed to bring in a supply during the leadup to Christmas.
Health Canada is proposing to ban advertising of vaping products in spaces where young people can see them in a bid to rein in the rise of underage e-cigarette use.
The Ontario government's concern for young residents is prompting it to entertain the idea of banning flavoured vaping products, the province's health minister said last week, as another Canadian province finalized its own prohibition on the popular items.
