  • Quebec on Track to Ban Flavoured Vapes Starting Oct. 31

    Quebec on Track to Ban Flavoured Vapes Starting Oct. 31

    Canadians on edge about Quebec flavoured e-liquids ban.

    Health Minister Christian Dube announced that on October 31 2023, Quebec plans on banning the sale of all flavoured e-liquids and vaping products.

    Only tobacco flavoured and unflavoured e-liquid products will be allowed to be sold.

    This ban aims to deter folks from vaping, especially the younger crowd. The goal is to make vaping seem less attractive by providing less options for flavours and products.

    Vaping Industry Feedback

    The vaping industry and vape users are outraged. Angelina Raimondo, who runs 14 vape stores across Quebec, spoke out to express her upset towards the ban.

    “90% of my e-liquid business is flavoured”, she says. “This right here. That’s it out of the entire store”, she says, pointing to a small shelf in one of her shops.

    Quebec business owners across the province are wondering how they’ll survive with this ban ensuing soon, due to the rapid drop in sales they will have.

    Meanwhile, Flory Doucas of the Quebec Coalition for Tobacco Control, is thrilled. “This is really what was needed to reduce the appeal of vaping products among our youth”.

    Doucas agrees that this change was necessary in order to reduce vape consumption, but Raimondo argues that vaping has helped for many to quit smoking and that this ban is counterproductive.

    She wonders if herself, among others, might end up returning to cigarettes after the flavour ban is put through. Quebec flavoured e-liquids ban removes a popular option for harm reduction from cigarettes.

    Black Market Concerns

    There is also concern of illegal black market vaping products rising, as mentioned by Eric Gagnon, Imperial Tobacco Canada’s vice-president of legal and external affairs. “[Young people] will inevitably continue to obtain their supplies the same way adults will from now on – through the black market, where products are unlicensed and there are no safety standards.”

    Although discourse from either side of the spectrum ensues, pro-vapers are considering taking legal action on the province of Quebec in regards to the flavour ban.

    For vapers, purchasing flavoured nicotine products is still possible.

    Flavoured vaping products continue to be legal to buy and sell in Ontario and other provinces. It is not against the law to ship products to other provinces. Canada Vapes premium flavoured e-liquids are still available for purchase here.

    Although a relief for customers, Quebec based businesses will inevitably suffer under these new restrictions. Quebec sellers will be forced to uphold a new standard when it comes to their products.

    Vaping Laws

    Vaping Laws in Canada: A Comprehensive Overview

    Vaping, the act of inhaling and exhaling vapor produced by electronic cigarettes or similar devices, has gained significant popularity in recent years. However, the rise of vaping has prompted governments around the world to implement regulations to address concerns about its potential health impacts, particularly among youth. Vaping Laws in Canada have evolved to strike a balance between providing harm reduction alternatives for adult smokers while safeguarding the well-being of young individuals.

    The Evolution of Vaping Regulations:

    Canada’s approach to vaping regulations has undergone several phases since the introduction of e-cigarettes to the market. Initially marketed as a smoking cessation aid, e-cigarettes faced limited regulation. However, as their popularity surged, especially among youth, concerns arose regarding the health risks and the potential for a new generation to become addicted to nicotine.

    In 2018, the Canadian government introduced the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (TVPA), which aimed to establish a comprehensive framework for regulating the sale, promotion, and use of vaping products. One of the key aspects of this legislation was the prohibition of vaping product sales to individuals under 18 years of age, as well as restricting advertising that could appeal to youth.

    Key Components of Canadian Vaping Laws:

    1. Age Restrictions: The TVPA established a minimum legal age for purchasing and using vaping products, aligning it with the legal smoking age in each province or territory. As of my last update in September 2021, most regions had set the legal vaping age at 19, while Alberta and Quebec had it at 18.
    2. Promotion and Advertising: The TVPA introduced stringent regulations on the promotion and advertising of vaping products to prevent their appeal to young individuals. This includes limitations on promoting flavors that might attract youth, such as candy or fruit-flavored products.
    3. Packaging and Labeling: Vaping products must adhere to strict packaging and labeling requirements, including clear health warnings and ingredient lists. These measures are designed to ensure consumers are informed about the potential risks associated with vaping.
    4. Product Standards and Reporting: Vaping product manufacturers are required to submit detailed information about their products to Health Canada. Additionally, quality and safety standards have been established to maintain product consistency and minimize potential health risks.
    5. Prohibition of Certain Ingredients: Vaping products in Canada are subject to restrictions on certain ingredients that are believed to be harmful or might increase the appeal to youth. For instance, the use of certain flavoring agents and additives is restricted.
    6. Public Use and Indoor Vaping: Provincial and territorial regulations vary regarding where vaping is permitted in public spaces. Some jurisdictions have extended smoking bans to include vaping, while others allow it in designated areas.
    7. Health Warnings: Vaping products are required to display health warnings on their packaging, emphasizing potential risks and discouraging non-smokers, pregnant individuals, and youth from using them.
    8. Nicotine Concentration: The TVPA set limits on the maximum allowable nicotine concentration in vaping liquids, aiming to prevent excessive nicotine intake and addiction.

    Continued Evaluation and Adaptation:

    The Canadian approach to vaping laws reflects an ongoing commitment to balancing harm reduction for adult smokers with protecting youth from the potential risks of nicotine addiction and related health issues. Regulations are subject to review and adaptation as new research emerges and the vaping landscape evolves. It’s essential for the government, public health authorities, and stakeholders to collaborate closely to ensure that vaping regulations remain effective and responsive to emerging challenges. As of my last update, the information provided here may have evolved, and I recommend checking with official government sources or recent news for the latest updates on vaping laws in Canada.

    Canadian E-cigarette & Vaping Laws

    Welcome to our detailed guide on vaping laws in Canada. At this time in Canada, electronic cigarettes (a.k.a. e-cigarettes, e-cigs, vapes, vaporizers) are 100% legal for individual use.  There are currently no regulations as to where you can use them, with a few exceptions.  There are, however, several municipal and provincial vaping regulations that have been created by municipalities and provinces so we will break down the legalities of vaping per province.

    Federal:

    The federal government has not yet imposed any legislation or restrictions regarding the use of e-cigarettes, or the sale of e-cigarettes & vaping accessories in Canada.  At time of writing all regulations have taken place at a Provincial or Municipal level in Canada.

    Ontario:

    You must be 19 to purchase e-cigarettes and vaping supplies.  Similar to tobacco products, it is illegal to sell e-cigarettes and vaping supplies to anyone under the age of 19.  It is required by law for retailers of the vaping industry in Ontario to receive proper government approved identification from the customer before selling them e-cigarettes or supplies. A more recent by-law states any person under the age of 19 is not permitted entrance into a vape shop; we must note that many responsible vape shops in Ontario have already been enforcing this on their own for sometime.

    Under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017, you can not vape in any enclosed workplace, enclosed public place, and all other areas designated as smoke/vape free.  If you vape where it is not allowed, you may be charged with the offence and subject to a fine if convicted.  To read more about the restricted areas in Ontario click HERE.   The most recent regulation that has taken place in Ontario with regards to vaping inside of a specialty vape shop (current & new retail establishments must now apply for a specialty vape shop license) is as follows: Using an electronic cigarette (including inhaling & exhaling vapour) is permitted if the following conditions are met:

    • Use is for the purpose of sampling a vapour product
    • No more than two persons may sample a vapour product at the same time
    • Specialty vape stores must provide fresh, one-time use disposable mouthpieces for sampling, unless the electronic cigarette is the personal possession of the person sampling a vapour product.
    • The electronic cigarette must not contain Cannabis, Tobacco (i.e. Heat-Not-Burn Tobacco Products), or a Controlled Substance.

     

    ONTARIO VAPING LAW UPDATE NOVEMBER 2019:  The Ontario government has just proposed an advertising ban for vaping products in convenience stores and gas stations.  Under these new laws, vaping ads will only be allowed in specialty vaping stores where all customers must by 19+ to enter.

    Alberta:

    Alberta has no official regulations regarding the use of e-cigarettes, with the exception of the bi-law in Calgary.   There official stance is basically ‘beware because they have not been tested’ (Source).
    Calgary:  In June of 2015, the Calgary City Council passed a by-law banning the use of e-cigarettes and vaporizers everywhere the use of tobacco cigarettes is currently banned.  They made an exemption for Calgary Retail Vape Shops to allow customers to test & try e-cigarettes in their stores.   This only applies to “Stand alone, enclosed retail vape shops” (Source).
    This means there are currently no laws against vaping inside, including bars, restaurants, hotels, etc. unless specified by the individual establishment.  It is always a polite, and generally a good idea, to ask for permission before using your vape in any indoor public area. Exception: City of Calgary.

    ALBERTA MUNICIPAL LAW UPDATE: Some municipalities (i.e. Cold Lake, Red Deer, Bonnyville) have by-laws to restrict e-cigarette use in public places.

    ALBERTA VAPING UPDATE, OCTOBER 2019:  Alberta Heath Minister Tyler Shandro announced that the province will review their Alberta Tobacco and smoking regulation act with its aim to regulate vaping.  The review was started November, 2019.  It will most likely look at promotions and advertising of vaping products in Alberta.  At this time the tobacco laws in Alberta do not discuss vaping.  –citation

    British Columbia:

    In March of 2015, the British Columbia Government proposed legislation (British Columbia Bill 14, Tobacco Control Amendment Act, 2015) which at its beginning focused on banning e-cigarettes from being used indoors, banning the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 19, and restricting advertising or promotion of e-cigarettes.   It was proposed to be in affect February 2016.

    BC LAW UPDATE: Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act

    Date in effect: Sept. 1, 2016

    Under this law, the following are banned:

    • Sale and supply to minors (under 19);

    • Kindergarten to Grade 12 school sites at all times;
    • Ban on health authority property unless in designated areas.

     

    BRITISH COLUMBIA VAPING LAW UPDATE, NOVEMBER 2019:  Health Minister Adrian Dix is to introduce new legislation in British Columbia to increase the sales tax on vaping products from 7% to 20%.  He is also considering allowing flavors outside of tobacco to be only sold in specialty vape shops.  Furthermore, he would cap the legal level of nicotine to 20mg/ml, and increase funding for youth vaping awareness programs in British Columbia. The legislation is set to come into effect January 1st, 2020 (source).

    Manitoba:

    In Manitoba, Bill 30 was introduced into parliament for its 1st reading.  It is called the Non-Smokers Health Protection Amendment Act (e-cigarettes). This bill proposes the following:  E-cigarettes could be used only in places where smoking is permitted, with the exception of vape shops. There is also no sale of e-cigarettes allowed to anyone under the age of 18. E-cigarettes may be used in designated rooms in group living facilities and hotels similar to present exemptions for smoking. Customers may use e-cigarettes to test or sample products in vape shops where the sale of e-cigarettes is the main business activity.

    There would also restrictions in place which are ‘similar to restrictions presently in place for tobacco products’ regarding to the display and advertising of e-cigarettes.  This change was an amendment to the ‘Non-Smokers Health Protection Act’

    Bill 30 achieved Royal Assent on November 5, 2015 and is currently in proclamation.  This means it is ‘almost’ enforceable. Once the regulations are proposed and passed, it will be given an effective date for enforcement.

    The most recent information regarding Bill 30 is with Minister Crothers in December 1st and is as follows:

    “You are correct that while Bill 30 was passed and received Royal Assent on November 5, 2015, it has not yet come into force.  The in force date will be set once the regulations, which will outline specific requirements for some of the issues you mentioned, including signage, have been developed.

    As part of the regulation development, Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors (MHHLS) will consult with stakeholders, including vape shop owners.  However, a time frame for this consultation has not been determined.

    Should you have any further questions or concerns about Bill 30, please contact Mr. Andrew Loughead, Manager, Tobacco Control and Cessation, MHHLS, at Andrew.Loughead@gov.mb.ca or at 204-784-3900 in Winnipeg.”

    This means there are currently no laws against vaping inside, including bars, restaurants, hotels, etc. unless specified by the individual establishment.  It is always a polite and good idea to ask for permission before using your vape in any indoor public area.
    MANITOBA LAW UPDATE:
    Law: The Non-Smokers Health Protection and Vapour Products Act

    The new law also provides exemptions for vaping in the following places:

    • Where e-cigarettes are predominately sold;
    • Designated smoking/vaping rooms in hotels and group living facilities.

    Quebec:

    Since 2015 in Quebec, most of the rules on smoking also apply to vaping, including a ban on selling vaping products to people under 18. Now online sales of vaping products to people under 18 are also illegal. Delivery personnel have a duty to check that the buyer is 18 or older.

    Also banned are vaping products with flavours of candy, dessert, pot, soft drinks and energy drinks.  These changes are added to existing restrictions, such as where you can’t smoke, either tobacco or electronic cigarettes.

    According to Bill 44, it’s forbidden to:

    •  Allow e-cigarettes and related accessories to be seen from the outside of a shop. To prevent this, you’ll need to frost your window.
    • Communicate to consumers inappropriately regarding tobacco products displayed in the shop. This means a seller cannot communicate on the alleged benefits of vaping.
    • Advertise a vaping product whose sale or distribution is forbidden. In broad terms, ad in newspapers, posters, leaflets, Facebook posts, or on any other social network are not allowed. Likewise, it is not possible for a vape seller in Quebec to own a website that promotes its products.
    • Allow clients to test products or flavours. If you run a vape shop, you can’t allow a potential client test any products nor demonstrate how they work. Both owners and clients complain about this but it’s the law.
    •  Sell, or offer products other than those related to e-cigarettes. For instance, owners or shop staff cannot offer food or water to clients, neither for free or at a price.
    • Offer loyalty cards or any discounts or coupons.
    • Sell vaping products, to minors, nor allow their presence within the shop. The client or visitor must prove he is over the age of legal majority. If the seller doubts the age of a visitor, he must ask for ID.
    • Fail to display, in full view of everyone, on the cash registers or near them, messaging regarding the ban on the sale of tobacco to minors and the health warnings from the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (Source).
