Youth vaping trend
Health Canada reports that past 30-day vaping among youth aged 12 to 17 fell to 6% in 2024, a 60% decrease from the 2019 peak.
Retail compliance trend
The same report says retailer compliance improved from 69% in 2019 to 90% in 2025.
Alberta enforcement trend
AGLC reported more than 39 investigations in the first half of 2026 with partner agencies.

The trend lines point to inspection and enforcement as working tools. A responsible Bill 208 review should explain what a flavour restriction adds to those tools and how its effect would be measured.
