Moral Panic | Diagnosing the Youth Vaping ‘Epidemic’

Feature Interview with Dr. Mark Tyndall

Stoked by public health special interest groups a litany of frightening headlines has splashed across Canadian newspapers and TV news screens: Vaping Addicts Youth to Nicotine; Youth Vaping Leads to Youth Smoking; Vaping Is an Urgent Threat to Public Health.

For many Canadians, the news is shocking and worrisome, yet also confusing. Considering the fact that less than one-year-ago the Federal Liberal government made vaping products with nicotine legal in Canada—with the full acknowledgment that vaping is a much safer alternative to smoking.

In this RegWatch feature interview, hear what Dr. Mark Tyndall, Professor at the University of British Columbia’s School of Population and Public Health and former Executive Director of the BC Centre for Disease Control thinks about the pressure campaign to rollback vaping regulations and why he says it’s based on a contrived “moral panic.”
