While the government's existing proposal would exempt mint/menthol, health groups have argued that a complete ban on non-tobacco flavours is required to protect young people from nicotine addiction, as mint/menthol is the second-most popular flavour amongst youth and young adults .

Key Points: 
  • While the government's existing proposal would exempt mint/menthol, health groups have argued that a complete ban on non-tobacco flavours is required to protect young people from nicotine addiction, as mint/menthol is the second-most popular flavour amongst youth and young adults .
  • The ad also calls for swift action to protect minors against the sale and promotion of nicotine pouches, namely by making them a prescription-only product.
  • Making nicotine pouches available on a prescription-only basis would give time to both federal and provincial governments to establish a proper regulatory framework.
  • We hope that the government will be consistent in protecting kids from nicotine addiction and will rapidly move to ban all flavours in vaping products.
