Health Minister Randy Delorey announced today the province will be the first to ban sales of flavoured e-cigarettes and juices - as of April 1, 2020.

Dr. Mohammed Al-Hamdani's work found that Health Canada's format for plain cigarette packaging is an effective deterrent for smokers with a predisposed fear of illness.

In a stunning reversal, the province backed away from a plan to ban flavoured tobacco in its controversial Bill 60, a move that left anti-tobacco advocates shocked and opposition politicians perplexed.
