Canada Health Minister Proposes Bans on Vaping Product Advertising

Reuters

   Canada's minister of health, Patty Hajdu, on Thursday proposed banning
   promotion and advertising of vaping products in public spaces,
   convenience stores and online, in an effort to curb youth use of
   e-cigarettes.

   Hajdu also announced new mandatory health warnings on vaping product
   packaging.

   The proposed regulations come amid growing fears surrounding vaping's
   safety and mounting evidence that youth vaping is on the rise both
   among people who once smoked and those who had not.
