Canada's dental hygienists support this very important messaging and campaign from Heart & Stroke

From Berry Blast to Mango Crush, sweet names for v**e flavours disguise their danger.

Canada has some of the highest teen va**ng rates in the world. Recent survey data shows that more than one in five grade 11 students v**e and over one in four Canadian grade 12 students v**e.

That’s why Heart & Stroke is calling on the government to protect youth by banning v**e flavours.
