TORONTO — The majority of Canadians are concerned about the use of e-cigarettes among youth, with almost 90 per cent backing a ban of the vaping products for those under 18, a national survey suggests. In 2013, Health Canada reported that 8.5 per cent of Canadians had tried e-cigarettes, a figure that jumped to 13.2 per cent in 2015. The Angus Reid survey conducted last month found 18 per cent of respondents had given vaping a try. The organization also found that younger people and tobacco smokers are more likely to have engaged in vaping or to use e-cigarettes regularly. Among tobacco users of all ages surveyed, 45 per cent of daily smokers and 40 per cent of occasional smokers reported also using e-cigarettes.
