Share the responsibility standardThe Alberta Responsible Vaping Coalition exists to give participants a constructive way to follow and contribute to public conversations about lawful nicotine products in Alberta. We are not a lobby firm, a manufacturer group, or a medical organization. We aim to support careful, proportionate dialogue that takes youth-access protection seriously while keeping adult-access discussion measured and free of inflammatory framing.
Materials and discussion are prepared for adults of legal age. We avoid content or imagery aimed at minors.
We do not make medical claims, legal interpretations, or final policy positions on behalf of others.
Our focus is Alberta - provincial regulation, local communities, small retailers, and the people who live with the rules.
Updates, drafts, and resource links are shared as they take shape, not hidden behind credentials or approvals.
These are starting points for organising, listening, and writing - not demands or settled positions. They are intended to support participation without overstating evidence or escalating polarization.
Provide adults a respectful place to follow nicotine product policy, share their experiences, and respond to consultations in their own voice rather than through industry or advocacy filters.
Support discussion that takes youth-access protection seriously while also recognising that adults already use lawful products and deserve clear, workable rules rather than absolutist responses.
Collect and link to plainly written background material so that people new to a regulatory question can orient themselves without wading through jargon or partisan summaries.
Help Albertans - including small retailers, families, and adult consumers - find practical ways to take part in public consultations, council meetings, and community discussions.

The coalition is open to two groups: adult Albertans of legal age who use lawful vaping products, and responsible Alberta retailers who sell them. Pick the path that fits - we keep the two on separate channels because the questions are different. Information shared with us is used only for coalition communications and is removed on request.
