Afro-Guyanese Heritage Association Welcomes President Ali's Vape Import Restrictions

According to the Guyana Times, the Afro-Guyanese Heritage Association welcomed President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali's declaration concerning limitations on the importation of vaping products and vapes into Guyana. The association stated that the health of children merits decisive safeguarding.

The Afro-Guyanese Heritage Association noted that the concerns raised by the President regarding the exposure of young individuals to nicotine and substances that could be harmful require serious consideration from all entities involved in their welfare. The proposed import restrictions present a chance to bolster protection while also promoting well-informed discussions within communities, schools, and homes.

Furthermore, the association suggested that parents and educators should be provided with clear information to assist them in explaining the issues related to vaping and to respond when young people require guidance. The Afro-Guyanese Heritage Association commended the President for prioritizing the well-being of children. The association also urged the swift execution of the announced measures, alongside ongoing public education and readily available support for young people who wish to cease using these products.
