The Star
- The fact that three very different products (nicotine e-cigarettes, cannabis oil-pens, and dry-herb vaporizers) are all referred to as “vaping” is not helping anything.
- The Council of Chief Medical Officers of Health expressed concerns about “the substantial rise of [nicotine] vaping” among teenagers, and the likelihood that those who vape nicotine products will become smokers.
- One Canadian case of VAPI has been confirmed, while another is suspected. Both are connected with nicotine e-cigarettes.
