Health Canada is proposing that a single set of regulations be made under the authorities of the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (TVPA) and the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA). The proposed Regulations would set out the requirements in two parts: labelling requirements pursuant to the TVPA, and labelling and child-resistant container requirements pursuant to the CCPSA. The proposed labelling requirements include a list of ingredients, and, depending on the presence of nicotine and its concentration, a health warning that nicotine is highly addictive, the concentration of nicotine, and warnings regarding the toxicity of nicotine when ingested.
In addition, the proposed Regulations would set out expressions that may be used on the product or package to indicate when a vaping product is without nicotine. The proposed Regulations would also require refillable vaping products, including devices and their parts, to be child resistant.
The full notice was recently published Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 153, Number 25: Vaping Products Labelling and Packaging Regulations
The proposed Vaping Products Labelling and Packaging Regulations are open for comment until September 5, 2019.
