Proposals for the Regulation of Vaping Products

Under the framework proposed by Bill S-5, vaping products would also be required to meet the applicable provisions of either the FDA or the CCPSA, depending on whether the product is marketed with or without therapeutic claims. [...] Information on the applicability of the FDA and the CCPSA to vaping products is included at the end of this document, under Additional Comments on Other Applicable Legislation (page 12). [...] The Department invited all interested organizations and individuals to review the measures being considered and to provide feedback that would be used to inform the development of regulations. [...] Of the two submissions from academics, one did not support the proposed regulation of vaping products at all, citing vaping as a vastly important harm reduction tool in the fight against smoking that should not be regulated as proposed; the other was generally supportive of the proposals. [...] Other calls were for collected data to be made available to the provinces or to the public, and that regulations for vaping products should be similar to the Tobacco Reporting Regulations.
