Cynthia Callard, executive director of Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada, said she and representatives from a number of anti-smoking organizations met this week with a senior staff member for Mental Health and Addictions Minister Ya’ara Saks.
“We left the meeting with the firm belief that we are not going to see a ban on vaping flavours this year,” she said. “We are greatly disappointed.”
Callard said the official gave a range of logistical reasons for why the restrictions weren’t going ahead — including the limited time left to enact them as the Liberal government stares down a potential spring election.
There are some valid uses for replaceable batteries. Fire alarms for example is not something i want to take off the ceiling to recharge every few weeks.
That said, banning single use/non refillable vapes is something i could support.

I mean devices with non-replacable batteries, once the battery fails the entire device must be replaced. Single used then trash.
