Room for interpretation in federal law – Canada regulatory report

Canada’s Tobacco and Vaping Products Act became law in May 2018, bringing nationwide regulation of e-cigarettes to the country for the first time. The act remains very general, leaving wide scope for further regulation to clarify details. Albeit, Health Canada has clarified in its guidance that other related regulation is applicable and quite specific requirements have emerged – as foreseen by consumer products, chemicals and health and safety regulations.
