The latest findings from the investigation into lung injuries associated with e-cigarette use, or vaping, suggest products containing THC play a role in the outbreak.

  • About 77% reported using THC-containing products; 36% reported exclusive use of THC-containing products.
  • About 57% reported using nicotine-containing products; 16% reported exclusive use of nicotine-containing products.

Initial Q&A with Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) on Compliance

• Signage can be downloaded and accessed under the Required Signs tab on LCB’s website: here.  Licensees print their own signs.
• LCB officers will be enforcing compliance with signage and flavor ban at both marijuana and non-THC vapor product retailers.
• LCB officers will start with educational visits and then shift into active compliance mode (after about two weeks).
• Noncompliance can be reported via the usual channels: either local LCB officers or LCB’s home page Report a Violation box.
• Active checking for product on shelves will not likely begin for a couple of weeks (though we are not sharing that with licensees).
