The federal government introduced updated legislation last year that governs how both tobacco and vaping products are sold, labelled, produced and promoted in the country. In the United States, the Trump administration is considering a ban on flavoured e-cigarettes and further restrictions on vaping and smoking.
B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix said that rapidly changing vaping technology has meant that nicotine levels in e-cigarettes have increased. “Yes, it is a big tax jump – and one that really signifies the urgency of this problem,” Ms. James said. “We all know that youth are particularly price-sensitive, and so when you make a product more expensive, and harder to access, youth will decline.”
Flavours that are “directly targeting youth” will be banned at a later date after consultations, he added.
Bc, from the NDP, chooses to be completely braindead. They want tax money, and they will get them from a citizen however possible. Wake up for once BC. You continue to ask to be beat up
Ill just get it shipped from elsewhere and local businesses will suffer.
