Source C agree with the statement. This is found in "Vapes will be subject to limitations, such as the use of vapes for medical treatment." This suggests that the government is acting to reduce health risks among the people. Vaping is only allowed under medical supervision, which discourages people from using vape for recreational purposes. Therefore, the government is responsible for discouraging vaping.

Source E disagree with the statement. This is found in "They're clearly marketing to children." This suggests that the government is not taking sufficient measures to regulate the marketing of vapes to kids, as there is no mention of strict regulations preventing vape companies from targeting children. Therefore, the government is not responsible for discouraging vaping as there are no effective regulations to reduce vaping among kids.

Source A agrees with the statement. This is found in 'Multi-agency effort to step up vaping enforcement and education" This suggests that the Ministry of Health, together with other government agencies, is stepping up enforcement and education efforts against electronic vaporisers. This multi-agency approach is aimed at protecting the population from such harmful tobacco products and preventing vaping from being entrenched locally. This prevents people from sourcing vapes easily from local premises. Therefore, the government is responsible for discouraging vaping.
