The Afro-Guyanese Heritage Association welcomes President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali’s announcement of restrictions on the importation of vapes and vaping products into Guyana. Children’s health deserves decisive protection. The concerns outlined by the President about young people’s exposure to nicotine and potentially harmful substances warrant serious attention from every organisation concerned with their welfare.
The proposed import restrictions offer an opportunity to strengthen protection while encouraging informed conversations in homes, schools and communities. Parents and teachers should receive clear information to help them explain the concerns surrounding vaping and respond when young people need guidance.
The Afro-Guyanese Heritage Association commends the President for making children’s well-being a priority. We encourage prompt implementation of the announced measures, supported by sustained public education and accessible assistance for young people seeking to stop using these products.
