“To mark World No Tobacco Day, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health, announced nearly $4.8 million in funding for organizations across Canada to develop programs and services that will help stop tobacco use among Canadians, and reduce youth vaping. The prevalence of vaping among students has doubled since 2016-2017. In fact, 20% of students had vaped within thirty days of being surveyed.”
BILL TARLING – NOTE: Health Canada continues to use its deceptively misleading claims of “protecting youth” by still using figures (from 3-4 years ago via a poorly worded survey) which aren’t even representative of true figures — if a teen even took one puff from an e-cig, Health Canada considers them a vaper. In truth, the actual figures are less than 1%
