Federal Government Announces Vape Crackdown

A vaping crackdown is in the works from the federal government raising mixed perception from experts and users.

On one hand, the current vaping epidemic has drastically increased usage in nicotine products in underage consumers.

And on the other hand, making vapes inaccessible broadly could result in the creation of an illicit market that makes the product even more accessible to young users.
