OTTAWA — The federal law regulating tobacco and vaping products hasn't kept up with the rapidly changing menu of nicotine items on the market, prompting an anti-smoking group to lament the lack of legislative updates.
OTTAWA — The federal law regulating tobacco and vaping products hasn't kept up with the rapidly changing menu of nicotine items on the market, prompting an anti-smoking group to lament the lack of legislative updates.
Meanwhile, rates of youth vaping have more than doubled since the legislation was expanded to regulate vaping in 2018, and new nicotine products have come on the market. "We always end up with sort of a government scrambling to catch up to the most recent products and finding that they're regulated through a slightly different avenue," said Hammond, who studies tobacco and vaping regulation.
The report did highlight some potential areas of improvement, Saks' office said in a statement Monday, and the minister's staff plan to continue to refine their strategy accordingly.
