On September 14th the Government of Canada published the results of the 2014-15 Canadian Student Tobacco, Alcohol, and Drugs Survey (CSTADS).1&nbsp; Among its findings, the CSTADS showed youth smoking rates were at an all-time low at 3%.&nbsp; On the other hand, marijuana remains the most used substance by Canadian youth after alcohol (40%) with a usage rate nearly six times that of cigarettes.<br />
<br />
&quot;We all recognize there are important health risks associated with smoking and the fact that kids should not smoke&quot; said Eric Gagnon, Head of External and Corporate Affairs for Imperial Tobacco Canada. &quot;But when 3% of Canadian youth smoke cigarettes versus a rate of 17% for marijuana and four out of five youth are drinking alcohol, one has to wonder why these health lobby groups seem unilaterally focused on lobbying for plain packaging of tobacco products&quot; added Mr. Gagnon.<br />

SOUTHAMPTON, England, September 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ –<br />
<br />
In the most comprehensive chemical comparison to date between smoke and e-cigarette emissions, scientists at British American Tobacco (&quot;BAT&quot;) have found evidence that e-cigarette vapour* has significantly lower levels of toxicants than conventional cigarette smoke.<br />
<br />
Analysis of vapour emitted by the Vype ePen – a commercially available e-cigarette manufactured by Nicoventures, a company owned by BAT,&nbsp; – revealed that toxicant levels in e-pen vapour were 92 to 99% lower (depending on which regulatory list of toxicants is used)&nbsp; than in cigarette smoke. The findings were published today in Chemical Research in Toxicology, a peer-reviewed publication by the American Chemical Society.<br />
