We want the number of Alberta children and teens who start vaping to keep falling, in line with provincial and federal prevention goals.
We want clearer rules around schools, including online sales, vape shop locations, and youth-targeted promotion.
We want plain language resources that help families and caregivers talk about vaping at home, without panic and without misinformation.
Five practical priorities that match our daily experience as parents and as people who work with young people.
Public health research links sweet flavours, bright packaging, and small device formats to youth uptake. Provincial rules should reflect that.
Online age verification needs to be more than a check box. Out-of-province online sellers should follow Alberta's rules when they ship into Alberta.
School area buffer rules need enforcement, not just signage. School divisions and municipal bylaws should be supported, not undercut.
