Current legislative and administrative actions in the United States and Canada demonstrate contrasting strategies regarding the sale and authorization of flavored e-cigarettes.

美國與加拿大目前的立法與行政行動，顯示出在調味電子煙的銷售與授權方面採取了截然不同的策略。

In the United States, a significant shift in regulatory oversight has occurred. Senator Dick Durbin has asserted that the Trump administration facilitated a rapprochement with the tobacco industry by authorizing flavored e-cigarettes for a specific entity and permitting the market presence of numerous products lacking the legally mandated premarket authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This administrative pivot followed the removal of FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. Durbin contends that the bypass of public health protections—specifically the requirement to prove products are appropriate for public health—exposes minors to nicotine addiction and carcinogenic substances such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. This position is supported by testimony from National Institutes of Health officials, including the NIH director, who questioned the logic of increasing youth access to these products.

在美國，監管監督發生了重大轉變。參議員 Dick Durbin 主張，川普政府透過為特定實體授權調味電子煙，並允許許多缺乏美國食品藥品監督管理局（FDA）法定上市前授權的產品進入市場，從而促成了與煙草業的和解。這次行政轉向發生在 FDA 局長 Marty Makary 被撤職之後。Durbin 認為，繞過公共衛生保護措施——特別是證明產品符合公眾健康需求的規定——會使未成年人面臨尼古丁成癮以及甲醛和重金屬等致癌物質的風險。此立場得到了美國國家衛生研究院（NIH）官員（包括 NIH 院長）的證詞支持，他們質疑增加青少年接觸這些產品的邏輯。

Conversely, the Manitoba government has introduced legislation aimed at restricting the availability of flavored vaping products. The proposed bill would prohibit sales in urban businesses accessible to individuals under 18, though rural areas would remain exempt. Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara characterized these products as a potential gateway to combustible tobacco for youth, while maintaining their utility as cessation tools for adults. However, the Manitoba Lung Association has criticized the measure as insufficient, noting that youth acquisition persists via peer networks and digital channels. This approach aligns with strategies in British Columbia and Ontario but remains less stringent than the comprehensive flavor bans implemented in Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.

相反地，曼尼托巴省政府引入了旨在限制調味電子煙產品供應的立法。擬議的法案將禁止在 18 歲以下人士可接觸的城市商家銷售，但鄉村地區則不受限制。衛生部長 Uzoma Asagwara 將這些產品描述為青少年接觸可燃煙草的潛在門檻，但同時維持其作為成年人戒煙工具的用途。然而，曼尼托巴肺臟協會批評該措施不足，指出青少年仍透過同儕網絡和數位通路獲取產品。此做法與卑詩省和安大略省的策略一致，但仍不如魁北克省、新斯科舍省、新不倫瑞克省和愛德華王子島省所實施的全面禁調味令來得嚴格。

While some jurisdictions are implementing restrictive zoning and sales laws to curb youth nicotine uptake, the U.S. federal administration has moved toward a more permissive regulatory environment.

雖然某些司法管區正在實施限制性的分區與銷售法律以遏制青少年尼古丁攝入，但美國聯邦政府則趨向於一個更寬鬆的監管環境。
