Tobacco and Vaping Products Act

Tobacco and Vaping Products Act
Act of Parliament

The Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (French: Loi sur le tabac et les produits de vapotage) is a Canadian law to regulate the production, marketing and sale of tobacco and vaping products. The law replaced the Tobacco Act, Bill C-71 during the 35th Canadian Parliament in 1997, which itself replaced the former Tobacco Sales To Young Persons Act of 1994 as well as the Tobacco Products Control Act of 1989.[1][2] The Tobacco Act was amended on July 5, 2010[3] and renamed to Tobacco and Vaping Products Act in 2018 when similar laws concerning vaping products were added.[4]
