Youth prevention needs source detail
Alberta says teen vaping rates rose to 30 percent among grades 10 to 12 students in 2018-19, according to Alberta rules and enforcement. That is why prevention deserves serious attention, but serious attention means knowing the source.
What should be reported
- School-area incident trends.
- Retail inspection outcomes.
- Peer or informal resale signals.
- Online and delivery-source complaints.
The next-step condition
If the committee moves forward after the September 24 agenda, prevention groups should insist that source reporting be built into the implementation plan.
