Nova Scotia Bill 60 Amendments

This is a call to action that WILL affect our future in Electronic Cigarettes, Vaping in general and your access to these products.

The Nova Scotia Health Minister, Leo Glavine has introduced an Amendments to Tobacco Legislation in Bill 60. Details can be found here: http://novascotia.ca/news/release/?id=20141024003

Effectively, these amendments would treat Electronic Cigarettes as Tobacco in virtually all aspects. No more vaping in public, no more visible products, no more flavours and no more vaping in vape shops.

If these amendments pass, this will set the standard for the entire country. Also, of special note, during the HESA Meeting No. 37 in the House of Commons last Tuesday (Oct 21st),Hillary Geller (Assistant Deputy Minister, Healthy Environments and Consumer Safety Branch, Health Canada) specifically said that they were working closely with Nova Scotia to establish regulation.

As such, this is clearly not just a Nova Scotia problem! What happens there, WILL propagate, if successful.

There is currently a petition on Change.org that, at a minimum, we are asking ALL Canadians to sign. Yes, we know, "another online petition" but this one is serious and has been confirmed that results will go directly to the Health Minister. Change.org is "cool like that."
