Save Vaping in Nova Scotia
Donation protected
On April first 2020 Nova Scotia passed new legislation regarding vaping, as of this date it is illegal to sell any flavors other than "tobacco" and "flavorless" e-Liquid in the province. Shortly after they introduced additional legislation regarding vaping, this includes a 50 cent per ML tax, and a nicotine cap of 20mg per ML, these are currently the harshest regulations short of an out right ban on a global level.
As all other options have been exhausted we have enlisted Patterson Law to challenge these new laws at a constitutional level, this has proven to be quite costly, however this is our last recourse to save the industry in Nova Scotia.
Additionally recent amendments to Alberta law will allow similar laws to pass without legislative process, we need to set a precedence in Nova Scotia so that our collective governments can see that we are not an industry that will lay down and disappear

Wow, we never expected such an outpouring of support from the industry leaders that we have received, thank you all.
As we previously raised $27,000 from the original gofundme. our goal was to raise the remainder of the 100k for the injunction.
The total cost including legal fees for the trial has been estimated at 200k, taking this into consideration we have decided to extend the current goal to 130k
