The Canadian government recently updated the e-cigarette science section on its official website, stating that there is evidence that e-cigarettes can help smokers quit smoking, and that switching to e-cigarettes can effectively reduce the health risks of smokers. This is a clear reversal from the previous negative attitude that only emphasized the harmfulness of e-cigarettes.
According to Health Canada’s website, an e-cigarette is a device that produces an aerosol containing nicotine or other substances that users inhale. E-cigarettes do not contain burned tobacco, but may contain other harmful substances.
Health Canada says that while e-cigarettes are not risk-free, they are safer than traditional cigarettes. The department also said that if smokers switched entirely to vaping and stopped inhaling cigarettes of any kind, they would reduce many of the health problems associated with smoking.
Health Canada also points to evidence that e-cigarettes can help smokers quit. The department advises smokers to seek professional cessation support when using vaping to quit smoking and to avoid vaping products that contain nicotine and nicotine-free products.
The Canadian government’s inversion on vaping stands in stark contrast to its recently proposed plan to impose a federal tax on vaping products. According to the 2022 budget announced in April this year, the Canadian government plans to impose a tax of about 1 Canadian dollars per milliliter on imported or domestically produced vaping products from October 1, and encourages provinces and territories to do the same. .
The Canadian government says the tax plan is aimed at protecting young people from vaping and funding the National Health Service. However, the scheme has faced some criticism that it would make it more difficult and costly for smokers to quit and could lead to a black market.
Canada has currently implemented some regulations and restrictions on e-cigarette products, including limiting nicotine content, requiring child-safe packaging, prohibiting sales to minors, and restricting advertising and promotions. In addition, the Canadian government plans to introduce restrictions on the flavors of e-cigarette products later this year.
