STROUD: PEI’s proposed generational tobacco ban ignores positive impact of tobacco harm reduction tools

The Prince Edward Island government’s proposal to ban the sale of tobacco products to individuals born after a certain year is a bold but potentially misguided attempt to curtail tobacco use. This measure overlooks significant declines in youth tobacco use and may inadvertently support efforts by nongovernmental organizations to ban less harmful tobacco harm reduction (THR) products. Instead of implementing sweeping bans, policymakers should focus on promoting THR products among current adult smokers and educating youth about the harms of tobacco.
