Professor Steve Manske from the University of Waterloo is available to speak to the media on the Government of Ontario’s plan to restrict the use of electronic cigarettes
“The Government of Ontario should be applauded for regulating e-cigarettes. While they have potential to help people quit smoking, there is also risk in re-normalizing use of nicotine. Regulating sales and restricting the places people can use e-cigarettes will limit potential harms,” he said.
Professor Manske is a research associate professor in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences and senior scientist with the Propel Centre for Population Health Impact at Waterloo. Propel is a driving force in lobbying for amendments to tobacco laws through population-level research.
