Albertans invited to share feedback on tobacco, smoking and vaping

EDMONTON- The province wants to hear feedback from Albertans on tobacco, smoking and vaping as part of a review of legislation that is currently underway.

“As promised, we are reviewing Alberta’s Tobacco and Smoking Reduction Act which will allow us to consider options to further prevent and reduce the harms of tobacco, tobacco-like products and vaping, especially among youth. Now, we are opening up that important conversation to all Albertans.”

“I encourage all Albertans to provide their opinions and ideas on how we can better address public health concerns related to these products and, in particular, tackle the alarming surge in vaping among young Albertans. Currently, the act doesn’t explicitly address vaping, so thoughtful and timely action is required.”

“This review is about addressing public health concerns. That is my top priority. I urge all Albertans to go online and get involved.”
