vaping, cigarettes, weed, and all drugs. not any junk food. anything that can lead to drug addiction of nicotine/tobacco addiction should be banned.

 @B43N69Xfrom Saskatchewan  answered…3wks3W

Yes and include alcohol, all smoking. And increase promotion for healthy things like health and fitness.

 @B3YW962from Alberta  answered…3wks3W

No, it is not the government’s job to tell people what they can or can not put in their bodies. Something the government can do though is to promote healthy lifestyle choices, while not criminalizing or penalizing unhealthy choices.

 @9ZCBKN9from Colorado  answered…5mos5MO

Yes to vaping but no to junk food as that could infringe upon consumer awareness in general.

i don’t believe junk food advertisements should be banned, but vapes absolutely

 @9TW98DJfrom British Columbia  answered…7mos7MO

For vaping and other harmful drugs, yes, but in situations where the product can be made less harmful by removing certain ingredients, the manufacturers should be required by law to remove them.

 @9TVPNXWfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Ban the promotion of products that directly cause cancers, alzheimer's and diabetes.

 @9TTDV9Ffrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

The government should add legislation that regulates how it can be done but a straight up ban is very vague

 @9TQZ97Xfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

to an extent because its not just young people who view these advertisments

 @9TN6ZYVfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

No, personal health and lifestyle choices should not be regulated by the government, let the people chose how they want to live.

 @9TDD3FYfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Vaping and harmful lifestyles should have banned advertisements, but junk food should be met with education, as it is not inherently harmful or disease-causing.

 @9T6MWLTConservativefrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

 @9T2LWM8Independentfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

 @9SLJBJVfrom British Columbia  answered…8mos8MO

Maybe not ban but regulate pricing of healthy options. As it stands something like a bag of potato chips is more affordable than a head of cauliflower.

 @9RXS4P4 from Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

vaping should not be promoted and unhealthy lifestyles should not be promoted. but unhealthy snacks every once in a while are not super harmful.

 @9RW65Z4from Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

No but fine any company who tries to target young people with Anything not legal for them like vaping, junk food doesn't matter

 @9RTXP25from Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

No, but create incentives for promotions of healthier products. In the end, it's an individual's personal responsibility to be informed on how healthy food is and whether or not to purchase them.

 @9RTLWCPIndependentfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

 @9RJ6K3Vfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, and we ought to adopt the same food additive standards and regulations as in Australia and New Zealand.

 @9RCRJ4Ffrom Nova Scotia  answered…9mos9MO

This needs a better definition of “products”, along with a specific answer for each one listed.

 @9RBYRBTfrom New Brunswick  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, but current government rules missed the mark and did not account for larger market interactions. Tobacco is still highly profitable, it just shifted markets and product focus.

 @9RBVFQQfrom Prince Edward Island  answered…9mos9MO

No, but the CRTC should be given what it needs to enforce regulations on such advertisements when necessary.

 @9NCVPRKfrom British Columbia  answered…10mos10MO

No, and it should be the same across all provinces instead of BC having all the rules which only causes more people to go outside BC of to black market suppliers to get products and reduces profits for BC businesses

 @9NBQ4T6from Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

 @9N4H64KConservativefrom Saskatchewan  answered…11mos11MO

 @9MXMJKYfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

I think that the government should limit the promotion of products that contribute to unhealthy lifestyles

 @9MXJRLQfrom British Columbia  answered…11mos11MO

No, as this will inevitably lead to a black market. Instead, companies that manufacture these products should be legally required to advertise their harmful health effects, much like in the sale of cigarettes.

 @B46PXPWfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

No, but discourage and educate people on unhealthy lifestyles and the consequences of making those choices

 @B45SQLYfrom Quebec  answered…2wks2W

I think so because then it promotes body positivity and gets people for and healthy and does not promoted unhealthy obesity or diabetes. We should not promote medication either

 @B3G5MP2from Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Yes. They shouldn't be promoted, but products that contribute to unhealthy lifestyles shouldn't be banned either. There should be more regulations in place when it comes to ingredients and honesty of contents / consequences.

 @B3CTNFRfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

No, there should be more access to programs educating young people of risks and more regulation on marketing to young people, targeting low income communities, and false claims.

 @B38NWBTfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

I think unhealthy options should be more expensive and healthy alternatives should be less expensive.

 @Canadianpunk89  from Pennsylvania  answered…2mos2MO

Vaping should be treated the same as smoking. It is a bit impossible to get rid of junk food but maybe put a little disclaimer note on the ad saying too much of it can be harmful.

 @B35GNRNfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Definitely ban the promotion of vaping and smoking, but have more healthy foods advertised rather than junk food, don't get rid of junk food advertisements

 @B324X4Ffrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

100% ban vaping, but not junk food. There should be a limit on junk food for once in a while occasions.

 @B2YZ4LBfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

It should only be vaping because teenagers are able to access vapes. Junk food should not be banned because everyone eats it and it does not cause as much health damage as vapes

 @B2XVGNSfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Vaping should be banned but there is nothing wrong with junk food because you get junk food on Halloween and also Christmas. I only think that vaping should be banned.

 @B2PNDYNanswered…2mos2MO

Advertisements for Vaping, alcohol, gambling, and other « vices », as one could call them, should be banned, but junk food ads are fine.

 @B2P2T62from Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

No. But more regulations need to be put on products to make them healthier. for example, amount of sugar, food dye, and chemicals in our food.

 @B2H2BPLfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Not ban. But dis incentivize and sin tax it. Incentivize healthy habits through tax breaks for consumers. Doritos should cost more than a bag of apples at the store - they cost society more long term.

 @B2D6S5DConservativefrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Vaping should be advertised as smoking is. junk food, now all of us enjoy but you shouldn't only eat junk.

 @B257KZLfrom Manitoba  answered…4mos4MO

Junk Food you can't really get rid of but the government can help make it less harmful to you but Vaping definitey NO! Get rid of Vaping!

 @B24KB2Hfrom British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

Vaping should be banned but not junk food. Vaping and junk food are not even close to each other and should be in completly different questions or areas.

 @B244VCMfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Everybody has the right to advertise. But maybe put a time limit on it. So after 9:00 at night you can no longer advertise.

 @9ZZX9XBfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Just vaping and smoking should get banned, junk food is like a treat for spending a huge amount of time eating healthy

 @9ZSRGC5from British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

Not junk food if it’s not really bad but vaping yes because it can be used as a start drug.

 @9ZS9WKKfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

No, but let the viewer be aware of the unhealthy contributions that the product brings

 @9W8Z2D7from British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

 @9W8LKC7from Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

No, but include all the important health impacts and have it be the most important part

 @9VNQFG8Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

Depending on the long-term effects, the worst effects should be banned such as smoking, and vaping but junk food like fast food should still be legal.

 @9VHLT3Ffrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

No, but the government should still ban the promotion of only vaping and smoking.

 @9VF4NS9from Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

Government should ban promotion of vaping but can allow some junk food.

 @9VDGM24from Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

no, but increase taxes on unhealthy lifestyle choices in order to subsidize the healthcare strain

 @9VCSG6Kfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

I think that the restrictions should be on harmful products only like vapes, cigarettes, etc. The junk food side in my opinion is turned bad by bad teaching so it is not harmful.

 @9VCHSGVfrom Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

I believe that promoting vaping should be banned but promoting junk food is fine.

 @9V4HD9Kfrom British Columbia  answered…7mos7MO

 @9TZBCQNfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

 @9TYSP55from Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Not just ban the promotion ban people who were born after a certain year from ever being able to buy cigaretts or vape

 @9QZCYDNfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Only for large risks like with drugs and smoking, whereas junk food isnt as bad when its occasional and it's less addictive

 @9QQNGWTfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

I do not think junk food and vaping should be compared as both unhealthy lifestyles.

 @9QQN8TPfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, but only for vaping as it has a clear health concern with health issues that are difficult or impossible to reverse

 @9QQKXVQanswered…9mos9MO

Young people don't like to be restricted and this can cause them to rebel and turn to more dangerous sources

 @9QFM9P7 from Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

 @9PT8NHVfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

These should be taxed at a higher rate and begin banning cigarettes and vapes for people born after X year

 @9PSCFW7from British Columbia  answered…10mos10MO

 @9NJP74Hfrom Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

 @B35PD2Qfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

vaping, and "junk food" should have an additional "health tax" on it. This money would go directly to funding the healthcare system.

 @B4JTTD8from Ontario  answered…12hrs12H

It depends, when it comes to vaping in particular, if they're a smoker and all other attempts have failed, they should promote it. Vaping works
