A Green MLA who voted in favour of legislation to restrict access to vape products on P.E.I. and ban the sale of vape flavours now says the ban goes too far.The ban on flavours came into effect March 1, restricting Island retailers to selling only tobacco-flavoured vape products.Steve Howard, the MLA for Summerside-South Drive, said his understanding was the ban would be on flavours that appealed to children, but that some options would remain for adults.The specifics around the flavours banned were drawn up in regulations after the bill was passed.On Thursday, Howard tabled in the legislature an information sheet from Health Canada saying vaping is less harmful than smoking, and that switching to vapes "may reduce health risks for smokers who can't or don't want to quit using nicotine."Flavoured vape, e-cigarette products now banned on P.E.I.P.E.I. vaping bill addresses 'epidemic in schools'"Most of the evidence that's out there shows that as a cessation tool, vaping is very effective compared to smoking, and it's far less harmful," Howard said. 'Powerful tool' for harm reductionHe said the information from Health Canada "shows clearly that they consider it a step in the right direction.""Of course, the best option is to not use vaping or smoking. But as far as a harm reduction tool goes, vaping is a powerful tool that we should be not discouraging people from using. And the flavours are a key component to uptake."Howard said he supports getting rid of flavours with names "that are targeted toward children or youth like cotton candy," and suggested whatever options would remain for adults could be designated simply by a number to reduce their appeal.Green MLA Steve Howard said when he voted in favour of a ban on flavoured vaping products, he understood that some flavour options would remain targeted toward adults.

Lung Association said it believes the ban "is going to have a huge impact" in reducing the appeal of vaping among Island youth.

Adolescents who vape cannabis are at greater risk for respiratory symptoms indicative of lung injury than teens who smoke cigarettes or marijuana, or vape nicotine, a new University of Michigan study suggests.The result challenges conventional wisdom about vaping nicotine, says the study’s principal investigator, Carol Boyd, the Deborah J. Oakley Collegiate Professor Emerita at the U-M School of Nursing.“I thought that e-cigarettes (vaping nicotine) would be the nicotine product most strongly associated with worrisome respiratory symptoms,” she said. “Our data challenges the assumption that smoking cigarettes or vaping nicotine is the most harmful to the lungs. If we control for vaping cannabis in our analyses, we find there is a weaker relationship between e-cigarette or cigarette use and respiratory symptoms when compared to vaping cannabis.”Boyd, who also co-directs U-M’s Center for Drugs, Alcohol, Smoking and Health, stressed that the findings do not mean that vaping nicotine or smoking cigarettes or marijuana are not bad for you. These products also produce symptoms of lung injury, but not to the same degree as vaping marijuana, she said.“In short, it is all bad but if you also vape cannabis you have a greater number of unhealthy respiratory symptoms than if you just smoke cigarettes or marijuana, or vape e-cigarettes,” Boyd said. “Without a doubt, cigarettes and e-cigarettes are unhealthy and not good for lungs. However, vaping marijuana appears even worse.”Boyd and colleague Philip Veliz, U-M research assistant professor of nursing, wanted to explore the association of unhealthy respiratory symptoms among U.S. adolescents currently using cigarettes, e-cigarettes or cannabis and who had vaped cannabis within their lifetime.Adolescents who reported vaping marijuana were roughly twice as likely to report “wheezing and whistling” in the chest than those who did not. Current use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes and cannabis were associated with some respiratory symptoms, such as dry cough, but most associations were not significant after controlling for vaping cannabis.The researchers also found that an asthma diagnosis was most strongly associated with symptoms of future lung injury than cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cannabis use and vaping cannabis.One study limitation is that the researchers did not look at co-use of vaping cannabis and the use of cigarettes or e-cigarettes.“Future studies need to assess if it is the combination of vaping both nicotine and cannabis that is creating so many respiratory issues,” Veliz said. “It may be the combination of vaping cannabis along with smoking cigarettes is what leads to the high rates of respiratory symptoms among youthful marijuana vapers.”Boyd and Feliz looked at self-reported symptoms from a sample of adolescents ages 12-17 years, from the 2016-2018 Wave of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study. Symptoms were: wheezing and whistling in the chest; sleep disturbed or speech limited due to wheezing; sounded wheezy during or after exercise; and dry cough at night not associated with chest illness or infection.Reference: “Cannabis, Vaping, and Respiratory Symptoms in a Probability Sample of U.S. Youth” by Carol J.

The latest review of evidence from the UK Department of public health (PHE) highlights the role of e-cigarettes in quitting smoking and the low use of minors among non-smokers.After brexit, the United States is ready to reassess its tobacco and related product regulations. The report shows that e-cigarette products have achieved great success in reducing harm and quitting smoking.The study found that adult smokers using e-cigarettes had higher rates of quitting than other products in all parts of the UK, from 49% in the southwest to 78% in Yorkshire and Humber.The public health department points out that the number of long-term smokers using nicotine replacement therapy (THR) is decreasing, while the number of people using e-cigarette products is increasing. Citing data from the action on smoking and health, the report stressed that the most common reasons for using e-cigarettes were to quit combustible cigarettes (29.7%), not to smoke after quitting smoking (19.4%) and reduce tobacco consumption (11.2%).Taste is still an important driving force for the use of e-cigarette products, and 31.6% of e-cigarette users said that they prefer fruit taste.The smoking rate of young people who “never smoke” is still very low, ranging from 0.8% to 1.3%, and the public health department has confirmed that this proportion has not increased in recent years.“For the e-cigarette industry, this is a decisive moment, which really shows that the e-cigarette industry has made considerable progress in the case of serious misinformation in the whole industry. The UK Department of public health once again points out that people’s understanding of the hazards of e-cigarettes is increasingly inconsistent with the evidence compared with smoking, “said John Dunne, director of ukvia.The latest data on which this review is based provide irrefutable evidence for the importance of e-cigarettes to successful smoking cessation and national public health.Dunne also pointed to the challenges that industry and policymakers need to address.“Although there are many positive aspects to this report, there is still a lot of work to be done,” he said “For example, the action on smoking and health found that only 11% of local government smoking cessation services provided e-cigarettes to some or all people who tried to quit smoking. As the obvious benefits of e-cigarettes are demonstrated in this report, we must ensure that this number continues to grow.“As an industry, we also agree with Phe’s view on strengthening law enforcement to prevent the sale of minors. In response to the forthcoming government trpr consultation, we call for well funded regional and national test purchase plans to better understand compliance and help educate retailers about their legal requirements. Ukvia has released the first-ever guidelines for preventing underage sales for vape stores and online retailers, supported by trading standards.“The review found that more than 50% of people believe that e-cigarettes are harmful or harmful than the use of combustible cigarettes, which means that we need to continue to promote to smokers the fact that smoking is part of the harm of smoking. It has changed the life of former smokers and is recognized as one of the best ways to give up traditional cigarettes. “
