That was more of an issue in the USA, where it was more available in convenience stores. I dont know about you, but i started smoking at 14, and the guy behind the counter didn’t really give a crap about my age. Here, before variety stores sold it, e cigarette shops ask for ID, and when we shipped product, the shipper (canada post) needed ID check from the person who bought it or they would send the package back (and you would be suprised how many teens tested this and how well it was enforced, we got between 15-20 back a week for failed ID)
Yes, because of availability at variety stores, that’s what i just said. And that was a move the government made and the ecigarette industry was mostly against. the big brand eliquid companies you find in vape shops are not available at convince stores because they don’t want to be attached to that negativity. The ones sold there are mostly owned by big tobacco.
I don’t know about you, but i started smoking at 14.
Dang, that’s young. My mother’s brothers got her hooked on it between 9-10– it’s wild to think about how lax the regulations were.
(That being said, I’m 25 and only know about how loose they were due to my mom’s stories!)
Yeah, it was really stupid of me, i partially started smoking because i liked a girl and she smoked so i could hang out with her…i smoked till i was 24 then started using e-cigarettes. i will admit i have had the odd cigarette once in a few months from a neighbour. I know everyone has vices, and mine is nicotine, as i don’t drink alcohol, and ive abstained from using cannabis for over 5 years now.
Nicotine users have gone way up since vaping was normalised, especially under children.

Canada has some of the highest teen vaping rates in the world, new data shows
