Vaping Statistics

Vaping Statistics

	More than 400,000 youth in grades 6 to 12 and 275,000 young adults (20-24 years of age) reported vaping in the last 30 days That's as many as there are people in Halifax.
	The maximum nicotine levels in e-cigarettes in Canada are 66mg/ml. That’s three times what is allowed in the European Union (20 mg/ml) leaving users over exposed to high amounts of nicotine, which may lead to lifelong dependence.  That's like tripling the size of a regular cigarette.
	E-cigarette vapour contains a number of toxic chemicals. These same chemicals are found in lead paint, gasoline, embalming liquid, wildfire smoke, vehicle exhaust and cigarettes.
