In 2023 the Youth4Change groups came together to create eight recommendations to the provincial government. These eight recommendations are:

In 2023 the provincial government unanimously passed of the Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Amendment Act by the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly on November 8, 2023. This act increased the minimum age to purchase tobacco and vaping products from 18 to 19, as well as crack down on the advertising and promotion of vapour products to help protect the province’s youth. This change came into effect in 2024.

It's a start, but Youth4Change groups and Lung Saskatchewan would like to see more changes...

Over the past decade, we have seen an increase in vaping product use especially among youth and young adults. Youth4Change is working to make sure that youth understand the health risks of vaping and are advocating to the government to regulate vaping more closely. We are working hard to make changes to Protect all Saskatchewan Kids. 

If your school or community would like to create a Youth4Change group, contact us at youth4change@lungsask.ca.
