Vaping refers to using electronic cigarettes that deliver nicotine through vapor, while junk food includes high-calorie, low-nutrition foods like candy, chips, and sugary drinks. Both are linked to various health issues, especially among young people. Proponents argue that banning promotion helps protect the health of young people, reduces the risk of developing lifelong unhealthy habits, and decreases public health costs. Opponents argue that such bans infringe on commercial free speech, limit consumer choice, and that education and parental guidance are more effective ways to promote healthy lifestyles.

@9TBHMLT7mos7MO
No, use of these products should be consumer choice.
@9RTXP259mos9MO
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.
@9RTLWCP9mos9MO
No, but incentivize not promoting of unhealthy lifestyles
@9RSB7LV9mos9MO
No, but add a substantial sin tax on these products
@9RJ6K3V9mos9MO
Yes, and we ought to adopt the same food additive standards and regulations as in Australia and New Zealand.
@9RCRJ4F9mos9MO
This needs a better definition of “products”, along with a specific answer for each one listed.
@9RBYRBT9mos9MO
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.
@9RBVFQQ9mos9MO
No, but the CRTC should be given what it needs to enforce regulations on such advertisements when necessary.
