By Media RelationsProfessor Steve Manske from the University of Waterloo is available to speak to the media on the Canadian Cancer Society’s news release on the use of flavoured tobacco among Canadian youth.
Professor Manske can also address the various provincial releases related to the national report, including those from the Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco and Campaign for a Smoke-Free Alberta.
A research associate professor in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences and senior scientist with the Propel Centre for Population Health Impact at Waterloo, Professor Manske analyzed data from the national 2012/2013 Youth Smoking Survey for the national report.
“I grew up with rum-flavoured, wine-tipped cigarillos,” he said. “But our national data show too many of today’s youth access a much wider set of flavoured tobacco products. Laws to ban them have failed. Legislators need to close the loopholes.”
