Health Canada is launching a consultation on the #Tobacco and #Vaping Products Act (TVPA).
We want to hear your perspective on whether the TVPA is making progress towards achieving its vaping objectives.
The consultation closes on April 27th, 2022.

I am concerned that, without an immediate course correction, smokers are going to have their safer nicotine options wiped out by your misguided campaign to reenact modern day prohibition. I suggest starting by correcting course on your own philanthropic policies.
The NWT has among the highest smoking rates in Canada, yet just completed a consultation for their proposal to ban flavoured vape products. Instead of banning flavours, NWT should incorporate vape products into their tobacco control strategy.

I went to help my customer at an assisted living center. I am blocked by the people that attempt to slander my intentions. @WHO says my perspective is tainted. I want to ask Cynthia, Rob, Andrew et al… how hands on are you with the people you are claiming to save?
A new petition is live! our last petition was laid to rest when the writ dropped! Thanks to my MP @PLawrenceMP for supporting this petition! we had over 16K Canadians sign it last time! Lets make sure that every single Canadian smoker and vaper sees this!

Hey @CoalitionTabac, you do know that when you put something on the internet, it’s permanent, right? So when you delete this out of embarrassment, you know it’s never really gone…right? You *do* know that, don’t you? #fail
You literally can't make this shit up. Our anti-smoking group in Qc @CoalitionTabac found a rap producer to be a spokesperson for youth to not smoke/vape, yet his videos show binge drinking, pot smoking, cigarettes, by guess what, teenagers. #polqc ... but wait, there's more...
TVPA was a bill created in the senate. Let's go back to the intent of this bill, and the sponsor of this bill @CPetitclerc made it clear "Bill S-5 does not prohibit flavours" BUT how are we NOW facing a flavour ban? Can someone tell me how? @GovCanHealth
As you'd expect, I'm receiving a lot of heartbreaking emails from small business owners worried about their futures.
Beyond quelling their immediate fears -- FDA coming in and stripping their shelves bare -- there's only so much I can say to restore their confidence.
Health Canada plans on taking away flavours from our vapes that helped hundreds of thousands of us adult former smokers quit tobacco - effectively eliminating 89% of the products we sell.
Noone in their right mind could expect small businesses to survive this unjust regulation.
@PattyHajdu@liberal_party Eliminating tobacco use by replacing it with a known safer product, and eliminating lobbying from pharmaceutical company-paid "health orgs" trying to discredit and destroy one of the most important innovations in public health history.
Which side of history will you be on?
@PattyHajdu@liberal_party 1. Truly embrace the power of vaping for tobacco harm reduction
2. Do not move forward with the flavours ban
3. Recognize that the health of smokers and vapers is important
