“Lorna Rosen, deputy minister of Alberta Health, gave the latest available figures for teens from grades 10 to 12 in an answer during the Public Accounts Committee meeting Tuesday morning. The use of e-cigarettes or vaping products is not covered under the current version of Alberta’s Tobacco and Smoking Reduction Act, legislation the government has said is due for changes this year. Jeremy Nixon, the UCP MLA for Calgary-Klein, led a review of the act last fall with an aim of regulating vaping. Nixon submitted his report to Health Minister Tyler Shandro at the end of 2019. He said he will meet with Shandro soon to discuss his recommendations.”
