HALIFAX—Nova Scotia is adding to its crackdown on vaping by pre-emptively banning the sale of flavoured cannabis vape products. The products aren’t on the legal market yet, but the province says new regulations will prohibit the sale of any cannabis vape products with synthetic scents or flavours. Nova Scotia’s Finance and Treasury Board Minister Karen Casey said the popularity of flavoured vaping products among youth drove the latest regulatory change. The ban on flavoured cannabis vape products will come into effect by the end of the year, just as the products will become available for legal sale in Canada. The CDC identified vitamin E acetate — a common thickening agent in cannabis vape products — as a “chemical of concern” in the American outbreak of vaping-related illness and has since recommended against vaping cannabis, at all.
