Just what does the law have to say about vaping?

An excise duty on vaping products, as announced in Budget 2022, is being implemented on October 1, 2022 through the introduction of a new excise duty framework. The excise duty applies to vaping substances that are manufactured in Canada or imported and that are intended for use in a vaping device in Canada.

The US vaping community isn’t the only one under fire. The Canadian Pediatric Society is also demanding a ban on flavoured vapes after the FDA described the rise in teen vaping an “epidemic.” Is it really, though? Health Canada isn’t so sure.

Clearly, e-cigarettes are not tobacco products, regardless of their flavour.

How Our True Nicotine Formula Worked

How much nicotine is in my vape juice? And how much nicotine is too much? These are some of the most commonly asked questions as people switch from cigarettes to vaping.

The FDA, an American governmental agency that promotes public health, announced July 28th that it will be releasing a new comprehensive plan to better regulate tobacco and nicotine products. They have detailed a four-pronged approach that directly attacks the issue of addiction, the process at the heart of the growing smoking epidemic.

It is undeniable that vaping has taken over the many different smoking communities across the globe in a way that can only be called and explained as abrupt. Even if this impressive quick rise to fame can be considered monumental and phenomenal, it also entails repercussions when it comes to the acceptance of the public, and sometimes (and more importantly), of the law.

The American Association of Public Health Physicians has stated that e-cigarettes “could save the lives of 4 million of the 8 million current adult American smokers who will otherwise die of a tobacco-related illness over the next 20 years."
