Doctors, students work to stop growing trend of teenagers vaping marijuana - Madison, Wisc

https://wkow.com/news/health/2018/10/29/doctors-students-work-to-stop-growing-trend-of-teenagers-vaping-marijuana/

The growing popularity of e-cigarettes is making its way to young people — and they’re not just vaping nicotine.

The National Youth Tobacco Survey, released in September, found nearly one in 11 teenagers in the U.S. has used an electronic device to vape cannabis.

Altria to stop selling Some E-Cig Brands that appeal to kids

Altria to Stop Selling Some E-Cigarette Brands That Appeal to Youths

https://nyti.ms/2JfftIF?smid=nytcore-ios-share

WASHINGTON — Under pressure to curb vaping among young people, the tobacco giant Altria announced on Thursday that it would discontinue most of its flavored e-cigarettes and stop selling some brands altogether.

The company also said, for the first time, that it would support federal legislation to raise the age to 21 for the purchase of any tobacco and vaping product.

“There’s plenty of evidence that shows that e-cigarette use leads to combustible cigarette use among youth, and this year combustible use by high school students is up for the first time in 20 years,” he added. “So if Juul is getting kids hooked and they end up switching to Marlboro, Altria wins.”............

The full WSJ article was reprinted in our Canadian newspaper The Waterloo Regional Record on page B5 on October 26, 2018. At the present time, Ontario allows anyone over age 19 to purchase vaping products. There has been no response so far from my MP, Bardish Chagger, or the Canadian Minister of Health in Ottawa regarding further regulation of vapes. 

In my opinion, and in the opinion of experts, the vaping companies have been overwhelmingly successful in spreading dangerously addicting nicotine delivery systems to our children. 

I implore all of you to contact your MPs and MPPs to demand strict regulations of all vaping products. Local municipalities have assigned their health units to monitor the stores that are selling to minors. A major dealer here in Canada, BAT Imperial Tobacco have unashamedly launched their product VYPE without a care in the world. 

Folks, we are going down the same road we faced with tobacco advertising and promotions we fought against 25 years ago. Please ad your thoughts and pictures of signage for VYPE and if you see anyone under age 19 who successfully purchases VYPE via retail route.

Thanks,

e-Cigarettes, an industry Trump doesn’t mind regulating - Washington Examiner

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/e-cigs-an-industry-trump-doesnt-mind-regulating

President Trump routinely boasts of unshackling the economy by cutting red tape. But one industry may be about to face an onslaught of regulations, as senior members of his administration discuss a crackdown on electronic cigarettes.

Now long-simmering debate over flavors and popular vaping models appears to be reaching a head, with Food and Drug Administration commissioner Scott Gottlieb and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar outlining a possible crackdown in the Washington Post this month. 

Gottlieb and Azar warned of “an epidemic” of youth use, citing unreleased 2018 data from the the National Youth Tobacco Survey that found a 75 percent jump in use by high schoolers and a 50 percent hike among middle-school students.

FARMINGTON, MICHIGAN OFFICIALS ADD ‘VAPE’ TO LOCAL TOBACCO ORDINANCE

http://farmingtonvoice.com/farmington-officials-approve-proactive-approach-to-vaping/

The ordinance amendment prohibits minors from possessing “nicotine products” and bans vaping on school property. Following discussion at previous meetings, council members raised the proposed local fine for violating the ordinance from $50 to $250.

While federal law prohibits selling vape products to minors, a state law is still in the works. Demers said that while vaping in a growing problem in schools, students have faced only in-school punishment when caught with e-cigarettes.

Under the new rules, Demers said, tobacco enforcement “stings” using underage decoys will now include vape shops. In addition to ticketing business caught violating the law, the department notifies state and federal officials.

Teenage vaping: E-cigarettes are No. 1 cause of school suspensions - Twin Falls, Idaho

https://magicvalley.com/news/local/education/teenage-vaping-e-cigarettes-are-no-cause-of-school-suspensions/article_12a5a201-af07-5262-bd64-e0d29b37715d.html

TWIN FALLS — Magic Valley school districts and health officials are pushing for more education for teenagers and their parents about the dangers of vaping.

Across the region, electronic cigarette use is the No. 1 cause of school suspensions, said Cody Orchard, health education specialist for South Central Public Health District. And nationwide, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration launched an anti-vaping campaign in September targeting teenagers.

Idaho law says it’s illegal for a minor — anyone younger than 18 — to be in possession of or use tobacco products and e-cigarettes. Those who are caught receive an infraction.

Health effects

One nicotine cartridge for a JUUL e-cigarette is about equivalent to a pack of cigarettes. It’s common to see students go through one or two cartridges a day, Orchard said.

Another danger of e-cigarettes: Children are more likely to start smoking regular cigarettes if they’re vaping, Waite said. Most people believe e-cigarettes are safer than regular cigarettes, “but safer doesn’t mean safe.”

Against health agencies’ advice, Doug Ford lets stores promote vaping - Ontario, Canada

https://ipolitics.ca/2018/10/17/against-health-agencies-advice-ford-lets-stores-promote-vaping/

TORONTO — The Ford government is ignoring resounding advice from health agencies not to allow stores to display and advertise vaping products.

Such displays are allowed under the Progressive Conservatives’ overhaul of Bill 36, which governs legal cannabis sales.

Last week, six health groups testified at the legislative-committee-hearing submissions on Bill 36 about the risks to young people of vaping.

The Canadian Cancer Society, the Lung Association of Ontario, the Association of Local Public Health Agencies, the Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco, the Ontario Public Health Association, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation all called on the government to ban the display and promotion of vaping.

“The question is: Who is it that they are listening to?” she said. “Why is it that they’re more interested in listening to people who want to sell a product, rather than public health experts who say the way you sell this product needs to be carefully regulated to avoid health impacts for young people and children?”

Enforcement, regulatory gaps hamper crackdowns on youth vaping - Atlanta, Georgia AJC -

https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional/enforcement-regulatory-gaps-hamper-crackdowns-youth-vaping/Tong2AjXVeT8melt9WVv0O/

No policies either on the federal level or in Georgia limit nicotine levels, monitor ingredients used in e-cigarettes, or regulate advertising or packaging for vaping products.

E-cigarette companies have made their products available in candy flavors like vanilla, chocolate and gummy bear, and created packaging that resemble foods like juice boxes, candy and cookies, prompting warnings from the FDA. Critics argue that these designs are marketing to younger populations.

If current trends continue, the rates of e-cigarette smoking are likely to increase as students get older. There was a 65 percent increase in teens who had tried e-cigarettes from freshman to senior year.

VYPE Canada - web site promoting ePen 3 cartridges

VYPE Canada files downloaded on October 22, 2018

You have to first enter your demographics to show that you are indeed over age 19. 
From their web site you can choose all sorts of stuff from Imperial Tobacco (BAT). 
You can have it delivered or you can go to a local retail outlet to buy their stuff.

There are 5 flavours to choose from and four nicotine strengths to choose from, including zero nicotine. Yes, zero nicotine. 

Yes there are the usual warnings given. 

But, I am unable to find any reference that warns customers against the risks of becoming addicted to nicotine anywhere. 

Why the hell has Health Canada allowed these products to be marketed at all? By getting underage children to use these nicotine-addicting vaporizers, they are naturally, and with full intention creating cigarette addicts that will migrate over to their own brands. 

Here is a link to VYPE Canada web site for the cartridges. From there you can reach the entire content.

Maryland levies heavy fines for selling vapes to minors

http://www.wfmd.com/2018/10/15/new-state-law-makes-it-criminal-offense-to-sell-e-cigarettes-vaping-materials-to-minors/

Frederick, Md (KM). There’s a state new law for retailers who sell tobacco products, especially e-cigarettes and vaping products. As of October 1st, the sales of these products to minors is a criminal offense, subject to fines. It was a civil offense.   Violators could face fines. “Both violations include penalties of $300 for a first offense; $1,000 for the second offense within a 24-month period; and $3,000 for each subsequent offense within a 24-month period,” says Todd Crum, the Prevention Program Administrator with the Frederick County Health Department.

As part of the effort to keep minors away from tobacco and e-cigarettes, Crum says the Health Department works with the school system and the community to get the message out about the dangers of using these products. “These prevention efforts, including community outreach events, presentations within schools, and other partnerships provide tobacco-prevention messaging to educate youth and adults about the harmful affects of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, and how to make health choices,” says Crum.

Hong Kong to enforce total ban on e-cigarettes

https://www.vapingpost.com/2018/10/16/hong-kong-to-enforce-a-total-ban-on-e-cigarettes/

The ban was announced last Wednesday by Chief Executive Carrie Lam during a policy address. Earlier this month, four medical groups in Hong Kong had called for a total ban on e-cigarettes, after local surveys indicated a 55% rise in primary schoolchildren who had tried vaping.

The Council on Smoking and Health, Federation of Medical Societies, Medical Association and Dental Association, joined forces in urging local policy makers to implement the ban. Daniel Ho Sai-yin, from the Council on Smoking and Health, pointed out that the surveys  found that the proportion of primary pupils who had tried e-cigarettes had increased from 2.9% in the 2016-17 scholastic year, to 4.5% in 2017-18.

The survey had included the participation of 3,374 parents, of whom 82% called for the ban. Sixty nine percent of the respondents said that the products are attractive to youngsters, 67% worried that their children would be enticed to start vaping, and 60% were afraid that the devices will lure their children to smoke real cigarettes.

Arizona to Focus on Putting Out E-Cigarette Use Among Youths With the Food and Drug Administration recently calling e-cigarettes an epidemic among teenagers, Arizona is stepping up efforts to keep youths from vaping.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/arizona/articles/2018-10-21/arizona-to-focus-on-putting-out-e-cigarette-use-among-youths

The FDA won't tolerate a whole generation of young people becoming addicted to nicotine as a tradeoff for enabling adults to have unfettered access to these same products," Gottlieb said.

Some Arizona schools are also taking an active approach with their own initiatives. For the past several months, Tempe Union High School District has students spearheading its "Vanish the Vape" campaign. Kids caught vaping could receive a suspension. But for some, that isn't a deterrent.

"Today when I went into the bathroom I saw what I can only describe as a giant ball of vape," said Bach Drew, a 16-year-old junior at Marcos de Niza High School who is on the school's anti-vape committee. "Everyone is doing it."

FDA to consider limiting e-cigarette sales to vape shops to curb youth use

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/19/as-youth-e-cigarette-use-surges-fda-may-stop-convenience-store-sales.html

Regulators are considering prohibiting some e-cigarette sales in convenience stores and confining them to vape shops, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Friday.

High school e-cigarette use surged 77 percent last year, Gottlieb said in an interview on "Squawk Box," citing preliminary figures from the federal Youth Tobacco Survey. Middle school use skyrocketed about 50 percent last year, he said. Gottlieb has called these levels "epidemic."

Many teens are illegally buying e-cigarettes, including the most popular one, Juul, in convenience stores, Gottlieb said. To confront the issue, he said, regulators could limit sales of flavored e-cigarette products to vape shops.

Retailers who were caught include national convenience stores and gas stations like 7-Eleven, Circle K, Shell and Mobil, according to an FDA database.

18 year-old developed serious respiratory failure after vaping for a few weeks

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/17/health/case-study-teen-vaping-wet-lung/index.html

She was unable to get enough oxygen into her blood from her lungs and required a mechanical ventilator (respirator) to breathe for her until her lungs recovered.

Not only did the hostess require a breathing machine, she needed tubes inserted on both sides of her chest to drain fluid from her lungs.

Foxboro HS principal emailed parents about teen vaping risks

http://www.thesunchronicle.com/foxboro_reporter/rail/around_town/fhs-warning-of-vaping-hazards/article_394f125d-ec1f-5dc5-b34b-da2a33aa83da.html

FOXBORO — Foxboro High School administrators are warning parents and families about the dangers of e-cigarettes and other vaping devices — some disguised as thumb drives or other common objects.

Principal Diana Myers-Pachla and assistant principals Beth Sylvia and David Pierce emailed parents about the rise of vaping and a practice called “juuling” using a vaping device disguised as a mundane object.

What studies have shown is that the nicotine used in e-cigarettes is highly addictive. This fact alone is of major concern as studies also show that the teenage brain is still developing and is highly susceptible to addiction.

Toronto Star - Pressure increases to ban vaping displays to protect kids from addictions

https://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2018/10/12/pressure-increases-on-ontario-to-ban-vaping-displays-to-protect-teens-from-addiction.html

Pressure increased on the Ontario government to ban displays of vaping gear in convenience stores, where they can be seen by children and teens, as hearings on a bill setting the rules for sales of cannabis and vapour products drew to a close.

The Lung Association and Canadian Cancer Society urged Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives to amend Bill 36 to make it clear vaping materials should be kept from public view just as cigarettes have been since 2005 under law.

“Teens are very attracted to the flavors and to the gadgets Juul has," Halpern-Felsher told me. (Juul's devices are small and colorful, resembling USB sticks.) Although the company promotes itself as an aid to help adult smokers switch away from using combustible cigarettes, Halpern-Felsher worries that something quite different is happening among young people. "We think we're seeing initiation of e-cigarette and particularly Juul use among youths who would probably never have smoked a cigarette," 

Globe & Mail - Ontario to allow marketing of vaping products

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-ontario-to-allow-marketing-of-vaping-products/

Ontario is the first province to pass e-cigarette legislation that allows companies to directly market vaping products to the public, after the government made changes Wednesday that health advocates say will endanger young people.

Of the eight provinces with e-cigarette legislation, only Ontario allows product promotion. Alberta and Saskatchewan don’t have provincial e-cigarette laws.

This is a victory for Big Tobacco at the expense of Ontario kids,” said Rob Cunningham, senior policy analyst at the Canadian Cancer Society.

FDA smokes out 1,000 pages of documents from Juul in e-cig crackdown

https://www.csindy.com/TheWire/archives/2018/10/17/fda-smokes-out-1000-pages-of-documents-from-juul-in-e-cig-crackdown

E-cigarette maker, Juul, might be in hot water. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seized thousands of pages in documentation from the company during a surprise inspection. 

The FDA has been investigating the company for the past year as a growing number of teens have begun to use the e-cigarette. Claims that Juul and other e-cigarettes are marketing to children might make the industry blow up in smoke. 

Currently, Juul controls around 70% of the e-cigarette market, making them a priority among retailers. In the recent surprise inspection, the FDA took thousands of pages regarding their marketing strategy.

FDA monster video on frightening effects of vaping on teens

https://www.inverse.com/article/49119-why-does-the-fda-make-vaping-look-so-cool

In a public service announcement video released on Monday by the FDA’s anti-vaping campaign, called “The Real Cost,” teens rip their vapes and appear to acquire bizarre parasites that migrate and ripple beneath their skin, burrowing deep into their bodies’ tissues and organs. And while the video’s voiceover makes it clear that these visualizations are meant to symbolize serious health costs associated with vaping, these visual effects end up looking more like Venom’s transformation than deadly health consequences.

Waterloo Vapes management defends their sales people

Waterloo Public Health tobacco and vaping enforcement has successfully charged this store with openly displaying tobacco products. Charges of selling to minors were stayed. When I saw a 16 year-old from Resurrection HS with symptoms of nicotine addiction yesterday in my medical office, I started up a conversation with Waterloo Vapes. He never bothered to admit to his store’s recent court conviction for selling to a 15 year-old. Vaping is dangerous. Schools should be searching for vaping devices at their schools!
Here is a link to my Facebook conversation with Waterloo Vapes. They are located at 29 University Ave. E., Waterloo, between Regina and Weber.

680 News Toronto - Concerns raised over health risks of teen vaping

https://www.680news.com/2018/09/12/vaping-high-school-students/

A product meant to help adults quit smoking is increasingly finding its way into the hands of high school students, who may know little about the harm it can cause.

When e-cigarettes first began to appear on the market more than 10 years ago, they had been marketed to smokers as a safer alternative, without the same chemicals and tar that come with burning tobacco.

But more and more — with bright colours, and flavours like gummy bear, cotton candy and watermelon — it appears they’re appealing to high-school students who might not have even tried smoking.

Vaping is now the vice of choice for teens, who enjoy the sensory buzz and blowing the vapour from e-cigarettes into rings and mushroom clouds.

Toronto Star - Vaping giant Juul plans Canadian e-cig domination amid concerns from youth groups

https://www.thestar.com/business/2018/08/30/vaping-giant-juul-plans-canadian-e-cig-domination-amid-success-and-controversy-in-us.html

VANCOUVER—Electronic cigarette maker Juul Labs has plans to convert Canada’s five million adult smokers to loyal vapers amid a storm of controversy in the U.S. for its addictive qualities and youth appeal that’s leaving a sour taste among health workers and youth groups in Canada.

The design and experience of vaping one of Juul’s pods, which contains 5 per cent of nicotine is meant to mimic the experience of smoking a conventional cigarette, Nederhoff added. Vaping one pod, which will retail $21, is the equivalent of smoking a pack of cigarettes in nicotine level.

CBC - Vaping 'guinea pigs': E-cigarette health risks you may not be aware of

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/vaping-health-risks-1.4850823

Nicotine vaping products recently became legal in Canada, and their use among young people is rising.

Nicotine vaping products became legal in Canada in recent months, and last week, the Ontario government released proposed changes to legislation on vaping products in convenience stores that would allow companies to display and advertise their products — something banned in seven other provinces.

E-liquids unregulated

"It's pretty dramatic. I think the rates among young people have tripled," said Rob Schwartz, executive director of the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit.

When a new drug comes to Canada, it must pass a number of tests, according to Schwartz. E-cigarettes aren't considered a drug, so they've been left mostly unregulated since they appeared on the market about a decade ago, he said.
