The same report shows an increase in smoking among young adults (18 to 24). Not statistically significant, but definitely a trend in the wrong direction, and it looks like no reduction in this group over the past 5 years (Chart from the report below).
Gulp! https://t.co/aD5RMMF7rN https://t.co/cUYOdnWy5T

Canadian regulators do not restrict tobacco industry pricing strategies for vaping products. This is a problem that can be fixed. (over to you, @GovCanHealth)

Once again, @ITCProject puts its finger on the pulse of tobacco control policy impact. Implication for @GovCanHealth on their report: great work on #plainpackaging, but time to update #healthwarnings. https://t.co/rNU9AAEAG8

Sweden's Inquiry into Tobacco came back with recommendation to ban on flavours in e-cigarette liquids. Government goals are shifting to ending nicotine use, not just tobacco use. Bravo! https://t.co/dXdHKptyv1

In 2009 @AAFC_Canada paid Cdn tobacco farmers $246 million to get out of the business. Farmers took the money, but kept on growing tobacco. Feds did nothing. .
