aged 18 to 24 in Nova Scotia, but during her research, she’s heard reports of people as young as 10 years old who are vaping.
Stanojevic said any exposure to growing lungs during adolescence, whether it be smoking, vaping, pollution or poor nutrition, can predispose people to lung disease later on. That’s why the Canadian Cancer Society is pushing for provinces such as Nova Scotia to raise the legal age of vaping from 19 to 21.
Mulligan said the majority of people under the age of 19 who vape are getting a device from someone they know, with more than half getting their vaping device from a family member or friend.“It’s kind of a right of passage to share your vape and pass it along in social circles,” she said.Dr. Sanja Stanojevic, an assistant professor at Dalhousie University’s community health and epidemiology department, is studying the effects of regular vaping on the small airways of the lungs.
Mulligan said after the U.S. introduced Tobacco 21, under-aged people reported it was more difficult to access smoking products or devices. “There’s rightfully regulation in terms of the nicotine concentration, so there are limits on how much nicotine is in these devices, but what we’ve learned through our participants and some of our community engagement work is that there’s a lot of customization of them in the real world.”
