Open letter to the Canadian government: I am writing today not merely as a concerned Canadian citizen, but as one outraged by the glaring failures and injustices in our approach to public health policy, particularly concerning nicotine addiction.
Furthermore, the decision by the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health, to push through a ban on flavoured vapour products — despite significant public opposition during past consultations — is an affront to democratic engagement and a blatant disregard for evidence-based policymaking. Alcohol and drug policies often strive to balance restriction with rehabilitation, acknowledging the complex nature of addiction. In contrast, the approach to nicotine is trapped in a punitive mindset that harms rather than helps, reflecting a 'Quit or Die' philosophy that is both outdated and cruel.
