HALIFAX—Nova Scotia stands to be the first Canadian province to issue a blanket ban on the sale of flavoured vape products, and the government promises to introduce further changes next year to clamp down on youth vaping. “Policy influences culture and, right now, here in Nova Scotia, what we have is a culture of youth vaping,” Cull said. Dr. Mohammed Al-Hamdani, executive director of Smoke Free Nova Scotia, also welcomed the regulatory change promised by Delorey. According to one Canadian study, published in the British Medical Journal, youth vaping nearly doubled between 2017 and 2018. Canadian health officials have recorded 13 cases of vaping-related illness in four provinces, but none in Nova Scotia.
