According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the to***co and ni****ne industry continues to reinvent and repackage its products to hook a new generation, particularly children and adolescents, while evading stronger to***co control measures worldwide.

While Heart & Stroke commends Health Canada for previous measures to address youth va**ng, including marketing and promotion restrictions, ni****ne caps and increases to the federal v**e excise tax, there’s still more to do. That’s why this World No To***co Day, Heart & Stroke is calling on the government, Marjorie Michel and Mark Carney, to further protect youth by banning v**e flavours.

Taken together, v**e flavour regulations and these earlier measures would strengthen national safeguards to reduce youth va**ng and protect young people from the significant harms of ni****ne addiction.
