Youth vaping crisis, updated COVID vaccines, reusable shopping bags, and more

A group of anti-smoking organizations wants a federal ban on vaping flavours. They say Canada has a youth vaping crisis, with some of the highest rates in the world

And: Updated COVID-19 vaccines are starting to become available across the country. But public health officials are concerned that Canadians aren't as enthusiastic about getting vaccinated as they once were, even though new variants are circulating.

Also: It is hard to find a plastic shopping bag in this country. They have been banned, and replaced with reusable ones. But those are also starting to pile up, and find their way into the garbage. Retailers don’t have much incentive to deal with the problem, as the bags make them money.

Plus: Israel continues airstrikes in Lebanon, Nepalese workers find themselves fighting for Russia, and cellphone bans in schools.
