ii)         There are health studies that have reported the health risks associated with vaping. 

iii)        Legislation that only deals with tobacco-based products will be ineffective as nicotine-based products are sold for vaping.

iv)        Any legislative measures should also take into consideration limiting access to vaping products containing nicotine. 

v)         The board would not like to see a situation where vaping replaces smoking as they both create serious health and addiction issues.
