Dental hygienists agree.
45% of teens who vape would quit if flavours weren’t available.
Research shows that flavours drive & sustain youth vaping, contributing to future risk of stroke.
That's why we’re urging a ban on flavoured vapes: tinyurl.com/y9x6ca8f.

An important initiative that dental hygienists support and @thecdha is proud to be part of.
Flavoured vapes mask nicotine’s harshness, create a false sense of safety, and keep young people hooked – putting them at risk of heart disease, stroke & mental health issues.
Our CEO Doug Roth explains why protecting youth means banning flavoured vapes: ottawalife.com/article/canad…
