Province moves to snuff e-cigarettes, flavored tobacco

The provincial government is banning flavored tobacco and subjecting e-cigarettes to the same regulations as traditional cigarettes.

The government, through the years, has been very effective at reducing smoking rates and those efforts must continue as “new threats” present themselves, Health and Wellness Minister Leo Glavine said Friday.

“Flavored tobacco, e-cigarettes and water pipes are emerging products that, if left unchecked, could reverse our good work in tobacco (use) reduction,” Glavine said.

E-cigarettes and their juices, whether containing nicotine or not, will be treated the same as regular cigarettes: they can’t be sold to minors, can’t be advertised or displayed and their use won’t be permitted in indoor public places.
