Ask your MLA to measure enforcement before adding new restrictionsThe Alberta Adult Choice Vapers Coalition exists to give adult consumers and supporters a constructive way to follow and contribute to discussions about lawful nicotine access. The coalition is not a lobby firm, a manufacturer group, or a medical organization. Its purpose is to represent the public-policy interests of adult Albertans directly affected by changes to legal nicotine product rules.
The coalition encourages careful, proportionate dialogue that considers youth protection and adult autonomy together, rather than treating them as opposing concerns. It shares clearly framed information, surfaces relevant context, and makes it easier for adults to participate in their own words.
Materials and discussion are prepared for adults of legal age. We avoid content or imagery aimed at minors.
We do not make medical claims, legal interpretations, or final policy positions on behalf of others.
Our focus is Alberta: provincial regulation, local communities, small retailers, and the people who live with the rules.
Updates, drafts, and resource links are shared as they take shape, not hidden behind credentials or approvals.
These priorities guide coalition materials, public submissions, and outreach. They are intended to help adult consumers participate with accuracy, restraint, and a clear understanding of Alberta's existing rules.
Provide adults a respectful place to follow nicotine product policy, share their experiences, and respond to consultations in their own voice rather than through industry or advocacy filters.
Support discussion that takes youth protection seriously while also recognising that adults already use legal products and deserve clear, workable rules rather than absolutist responses.
Collect and link to plainly written background material so that people new to a regulatory question can orient themselves without wading through jargon or partisan summaries.
Help Albertans, including small retailers, families, and adult consumers, find practical ways to take part in public consultations, council meetings, and community discussions.

Select the path that applies to you. The two channels are kept separate because consumer and retailer perspectives raise different policy questions.
