On this ordinary day of February 19, 2025, the severity of the problem of e-cigarette use among Canadian teenagers was once again highlighted. According to the latest substance use survey results released by the Canadian Ministry of Health, one-third (31%) of Canadian teenagers (aged 15 to 19) have used e-cigarette products in the past 30 days. This data has increased significantly compared with previous survey results, triggering deep concern from all walks of life about the health of teenagers.
VEEHOO, as a brand dedicated to the health and growth of teenagers, is highly concerned about this. We are well aware that the harm of e-cigarettes to teenagers lies not only in the harmful substances such as nicotine they contain, but also in the addiction they may cause and the negative impact on the physical and mental development of teenagers.
There are complex social factors behind the high rate of e-cigarette use among Canadian teenagers. On the one hand, the diversity of e-cigarette products on the market and the richness of flavors make e-cigarettes extremely attractive to teenagers. On the other hand, teenagers’ curiosity and desire to explore new things also make them more likely to become e-cigarette tryers and users.
VEEHOO calls on all sectors of society to pay attention to the use of e-cigarettes by teenagers and take effective measures to protect the physical and mental health of teenagers. First, the government should strengthen supervision of the e-cigarette market, restrict the sales of flavored e-cigarette products, and reduce their temptation to teenagers. At the same time, the publicity of the harm of e-cigarettes should be intensified to improve the awareness of young people about the harm of e-cigarettes.
Secondly, schools and families should also assume their due responsibilities. Schools should strengthen health education for students and guide students to establish correct health concepts and lifestyles. Families should pay attention to the growth environment of children, maintain good communication with children, and promptly discover and correct children’s bad habits.
In addition, VEEHOO also advocates that all sectors of society participate in the prevention and treatment of the use of e-cigarettes by teenagers. Enterprises can develop healthier and safer alternatives to meet the curiosity of teenagers about new things; the media can strengthen relevant reports and publicity to increase the public’s attention to the use of e-cigarettes by teenagers; volunteer organizations can carry out relevant public welfare activities to provide more healthy choices and lifestyle guidance for teenagers.
VEEHOO knows that teenagers are the future and hope of the country. Their physical and mental health is not only related to personal growth and development, but also to the prosperity and progress of the country. Therefore, we have the responsibility and obligation to pay attention to the use of e-cigarettes by teenagers and create a healthier and better growth environment for teenagers.
Here, VEEHOO calls on all people who care about the health of teenagers to take action and jointly create a smoke-free and healthy future for teenagers. Let us work together to support a blue sky for the growth of teenagers!
