New Zealand's government announced its plan to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes in the country and increase fines for retailers who sell vaping products to anyone under 18.

An employee displays some of the varieties of disposable electronic cigarette devices manufactured by EB Design, formerly known as Elf Bar, at Vapes N Smoke in Pinecrest, Fla., Monday, June 26, 2023. New Zealand's government announced its plan to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes in the country and increase fines for retailers who sell vaping products to anyone under 18.

The Canadian Lung Association said the evidence does not show that the benefits of vaping as a smoking cessation aid outweigh the risks for kids who use the products. "We know that flavours are one of the primary reasons that young people start using these products and one of the main reasons that they keep using the products after they start," Butson said.

"Not everybody wants a tobacco flavour. The majority don’t want to be reminded of that cigarette or cigar or whatever it is they used to smoke."Liberal MP Anthony Housefather — who said Tuesday he was 'reflecting' on his place in caucus after the NDP motion on Palestinian statehood — has not ruled out crossing the floor to join the Conservative Party.
