The New York State Department of Health also said earlier this month that its laboratory tests showed very high levels of ‘vitamin E acetate’ in nearly all cannabis-containing samples analysed as part of its investigation. Last year, there were 1,538 of these new product notifications to the HSE. That number has risen to 5,362 so far this year.
While the most recent Irish research on e-cigarette use indicates the majority of users are former smokers, Gordon said there is a need to crack down on advertising that targets teenagers so that trends in the US are not replicated. Documents obtained under Freedom of Information by Noteworthy, the investigative journalism platform of TheJournal.ie, recently revealed the minister was contacted 11 separate times by associations or businesses connected to the vaping industry and Minister of State for Health Promotion Catherine Byrne was contacted by them five times.
“Despite the mounting evidence, many involved in the anti-smoking policy formation in the State – including the Department of Health, the HSE an NGOs – continue to ignore the role vaping can play in supporting tobacco consumption reduction,” Michael Kenneally said.
