Point-of-sale rules important to reduce youth vaping

Halifax — NDP Leader Gary Burrill made the following statement in response to today’s regulation of flavoured vaping products:

“Our number-one concern should be making sure young people don’t access these products. The NDP tabled legislation this fall that would require tobacco and vaping stores be at least 3 kilometers away from schools and require vendors to request proof of age from buyers who appear under 25 years old.

We’ll be looking for these types of measures from the government when they bring forward their legislation in the spring.”
