VAPING NEWS: MITT ROMNEY [Calling For Flavor Ban]
“Utah Senator Mitt Romney has called for flavored vaping products to be pulled from shelves across the United States. Romney introduced legislation in September 2019 that would have banned the sale of all flavored vapor products except tobacco flavors, but it was never taken up for a vote. “The analysis shows that nearly one-fourth of high school kids are vaping on a regular basis—tobacco products—and in many cases marijuana as well,” Romney said”

VAPING NEWS: P.E.I., CANDA [Flavoured Vape Products Banned]
“Flavoured vape and e-cigarette products are now banned on Prince Edward Island. The regulation changes are part of a private members bill from PC MLA Cory Deagle, which received unanimous support from the legislature in 2019. “The only flavour you’ll be able to use would be tobacco flavoured so all those other flavours will be gone,” Deagle said. P.E.I. has already made two other changes to the Tobacco and Electronic Smoking Devices Sales and Access Act as part of Deagle’s bill.”

VAPING NEWS: WHO WANTS GOVERNMENTS TO BAN VAPING
“The WHO [World Health Organisation] is recommending governments introduce laws to make vaping illegal. A report published by WHO’s tobacco regulatory committee specifically targets open-vaping which allows “the user to control device features and liquid ingredients”. The argument put forward by WHO is that people are able to add dangerous substances to these vapes in making them more harmful. Governments worldwide have reportedly been issued with the recommendation which will be discussed later this year at a conference in Glasgow.”

VAPING NEWS: NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA [Nic & Flavour Restrictions]
“The New Brunswick Medical Society is getting behind Health Canada in its efforts to reduce the amount of nicotine e-cigarette manufacturers are allowed to include in their products. In the survey, 41 per cent of New Brunswick students in grades 7 to12 admitted to having tried vaping at least once in 2018 or 2019. Meanwhile, 27 per cent reported using e-cigarettes in the past 30 days. Health Canada is also considering to further restrict flavours in vaping products, and require the vaping industry to provide information about their vaping products, including sales, ingredients, and research and development activities. Health Canada says the regulation would align the country with the European Union”

VAPING NEWS: NEVADA [Tobacco & Anti-Vaping Funding]
“A major concern for public health advocates for the upcoming biennium? Cuts to tobacco prevention funding. Through vaping tax bill SB263 in 2019, the state appropriated $2.5 million in both the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years for tobacco prevention. Instead, the state spent less than $2.3 million on SB263 tobacco prevention in the two years combined, and in the proposed budget for the upcoming biennium, there are no funds allocated for tobacco prevention efforts. During a legislative hearing on Tuesday for the proposed budget for the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, several public health advocates sounded the alarm about youth anti-vaping programs potentially going away. Representatives from the health districts in Washoe and Clark counties called for restoring funding, pointing to the ongoing trends in youth vaping.”

VAPING NEWS: VERMONT [Flavor Ban]
“The Vermont Senate has revived legislation that would ban the sale of flavored vaping and tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes. The ban was floated last year as a way to prevent youth usage of nicotine products, but the proposal was sidelined after the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Sen. Ginny Lyons, D-Chittenden, chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare, said in an interview this week that she’d like the Senate to pass the bill, S.24, “as quickly as possible.” She said use of nicotine products by young people has increased during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some people raised concerns about the ban with state legislators on Wednesday. Gov. Phil Scott has already signaled he would back a ban on flavored vaping products, but it’s unclear if he would support a prohibition on menthol cigarettes.”
