Let's talk about vaping/smoking relative risk statements in Canada. Why they are forbidden. How they were almost permitted and then disappeared, and why I think @PattyHajdu and @GovCanHealth are looking at RR statements from the wrong angle.

A Thread 1/16
May 2018. Tobacco and Vaping Products Act comes into force. Part IV, Div. 2, Sect. 30.43 (1) prohibits cessation claims (in Canada, cessation is considered an intervention). You can't say "quit" and you can't say "stop" with regards to smoking.

2/16
Sect. 30.43 (2) prohibits comparing vaping products and their emissions to smoking products or their emissions. You can't say better, less harmful, fewer toxins, or no smoke.

Two things to note to get started... 1: Adults aged 25 and up. 854,600 said they had vaped in the last 30 days, 20-24 (legally permitted access) was 309,100 (3/x)
