POLICY FRICTION | Special Interest NGO’s Behind Push to Ban Flavours | RegWatch
A coalition of anti-smoking special interest groups has brazenly crossed from advocacy into coercion, demanding a nicotine flavor ban that threatens to crush Canada’s $2 billion vaping industry and potentially push many of the country’s 1.9 million adult vapers back to smoking.
In a concerning display of political muscle, these groups—Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada, Action on Smoking & Health Canada, and the Quebec Coalition for Tobacco Control—held a press conference in Ottawa this October, delivering an ultimatum to Addictions Minister Ya'ara Saks: impose a national flavor ban or resign.
This ultimatum shatters the norms of public health advocacy, raising serious questions about the agenda and ethics behind such pressure tactics.
Joining us today to discuss these troubling developments is Sam Tam, president of the Canadian Vaping Association. Learn more about this unprecedented demand, the implications for Canada’s vaping industry, and how the industry is fighting back.
