what's going on guys Nick from bay meet
here yet again Jules made some big news
and this time it's on my side of the
border here in Canada before we get into
it you guys know the drill by now make
sure you subscribe to the bait meet
official YouTube channel and don't
forget to hit that notification bell now
let's get into today's story well one of
North America's biggest e-cigarette
manufacturers has made a decision and
this is in response to what's been
described as a youth vaping epidemic cbc
news confirming that joule will stop
selling most of its flavored vaping pods
here in canada and for details let's
bring in laura McQuillan right now so
laura good morning to you I tell us a
bit more about this move and what's
behind Jules decision here what we know
now Michael is it's going to be halting
production of some of those flavors from
today it's not gonna be pulling them off
shelves but once they're sold out
they're going to be gone Michael meter
Hoth president of dual Canada announced
on January 14th that the company will
quote unquote temporarily stop the
production of their flavoured pods this
includes mango vanilla fruit and
cucumber with tobacco and mint remaining
on the Canadian market since this move
is coming from the production side
flavor pods would not be recalled
instead retailers will still be able to
sell flavor pods until sold out if you
remember back in October Joule pulled
the same move in the u.s. and in my
video looking at the story I said one of
the possible reasons they went forward
with pulling flavors was because they
knew something that we the public didn't
fast forward to earlier this month and
we've seen that the FDA has put a ban on
flavored prefilled pods I have a video
covering this so if you want more
information feel free to check that out
as well at this point it really feels
like Julie thurr has some influence on
policy making and is using it to their
advantage to edge out the competition or
they were aware of incoming regulations
and acted preemptively either way now
that it's happened in Canada I wonder if
we'll be seeing similar actions over
here on the flip side according to a
letter sent out to retailers and
distributors jewel said they'll be
pulling flavored pods and may later
reintroduce them to the market under
guidance and regulation of Health Canada
the letter also said the company is
interested in resetting the vaping
category and earning the trust of
society if you're wondering what that
actually means your guess is as good as
mine right now as of july 2019 Jul had a
78% share of the Canadian vein market
which is estimated to be worth around a
billion dollars so this action they're
taking is sure to make waves in the
market
influencing other companies to react
accordingly despite this news Lisa
Hutton yak the director of
communications at jewel said that the
company maintains that flavors can play
an important role in helping transition
adult smokers away from cigarettes in my
opinion this sort of makes their goal
seem unclear I'm curious to see how this
move plays out and I wonder how it'll
affect the vaping market here in Canada
would you'll be coming less enticing
with less flavours we may see jewel
users move to different devices like the
stealth or maybe an open system like my
caliber and over here let me know your
thoughts on this story in the comments
below and don't forget to like and share
for more as always I'm Nick from baby
thanks for watching
you
