Recreational cannabis use is in the process of being legalized in Canada, and new products and devices for both nicotine and cannabis vaping are being introduced. Yet, research on the harms of involuntary exposure to electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDSs) and cannabis vaping is in its infancy, and there is a lack of investigation on sex-specific health effects and gendered patterns of exposure and use. We argue that responses to ENDS and cannabis vaping exposures should align with policy and progress on restricting exposure to tobacco secondhand smoke (SHS). Furthermore, we argue that sex, gender, and equity considerations should be integrated in both research and policy to benefit all Canadians.
娱乐用大麻在加拿大正处于合法化进程中，同时也有新的尼古丁和大麻蒸气产品和设备问世。然而，对于非自愿接触电子尼古丁传送系统（ENDS）和大麻蒸气的危害的研究还处于起步阶段，并且缺乏对特定性别健康影响以及接触和使用的性别模式的调查。我们认为，对于 ENDS 和大麻蒸气暴露的应对措施应该与限制二手烟（SHS）暴露的政策和进展保持一致。此外，我们认为，在研究和政策中都应考虑性别、性别差异和公平性问题，以使所有加拿大人受益。
