Health Canada announces new restrictions
Health Canada is proposing regulatory changes to permitted flavours in vaping products in the Canada Gazette.
The proposal would restrict the flavour options in vaping products in Canada to tobacco and mint/menthol. Health Canada is also announcing that the Nicotine Concentration in Vaping Products Regulations will be published in the next edition of the Canada Gazette, Part II. These regulations set a maximum nicotine concentration of 20 mg/mL in vaping products.
The regulations also prohibit the packaging and sale of vaping products if the nicotine concentration of the products exceeds this limit. Manufacturers must adhere to this limit by July 8, 2021; retailers may not sell products that exceed this limit after July 23, 2021.
