Consultation - Potential measures to reduce the impact of vaping products advertising on youth and non-users of tobacco products

See the “Consultation Summary” on discussions that took place.

This consultation sought comments on proposed measures to limit the advertising of vaping products.

Why

Health Canada is very concerned that youth are experimenting with and using vaping products in bigger numbers. We are proposing new measures by which advertising of vaping products can be limited to protect youth and non-users from the inducements to use vaping products.

Who

We sought comments from:

• health partners
• the general public
• interested members of the industry

Key questions for discussion

The purpose of this consultation was to get comments on the following proposals by which advertising of vaping products can be limited to protect youth and non-users from the effect of promotion:

• limit the places where advertisements can placed;
• limit the content in advertisements;
• inform the public through a warning on advertisements;
• limit the display of vaping products in certain retail locations.
