“The politics of e-cigarettes infiltrated Ottawa’s annual conference on smoking cessation this week with a group claiming to represent the rights of vapers complaining they were being “shut-out” of the conference and that it was unfairly targetting vaping. The pro-vaping group, Rights4Vapers, even rented a room at the Shaw Centre next door to the 12th annual Ottawa Conference on state-of-the-art clinical approaches to smoking cessation, saying they planned to hold a conference within the larger conference. That rental was later rescinded. Spokesperson, Sherin Edwards, a vaping business owner and advocate from Mirabel, Que., and a former candidate for Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada, said the group opposes regulations, including bans on flavoured e-cigarettes and nicotine levels. The group’s aim is to “protect the rights of adult vapers, whose access is under siege,” he said.”
