“The age to purchase tobacco and vaping products on P.E.I. increased to 21 on Sunday, and vaping products can now only be sold in specialty tobacco shops in the province. But the P.E.I. government still has not told those retailers when it will proceed with a planned prohibition on some vaping flavours, or specified which flavours will be included in the ban. A private member’s bill introduced by PC MLA Cory Deagle passed unanimously in the P.E.I. legislature in November 2019 and became law March 1. That law includes a provision to ban flavoured vaping products, much as P.E.I. banned the sale of flavoured tobacco products. But extending the ban to vape products will require cabinet make changes to provincial regulations, which hasn’t happened yet. Draft regulations which would achieve that were quietly posted on the province’s website in February, but without any official announcement as to when or whether the province intends to implement the regulations.”
