Canada to Strengthen Vape and Tobacco Enforcement After TVPA Review

Health Minister Marjorie Michel has tabled the third legislative review of the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (TVPA) in Parliament, signaling a federal push to strengthen enforcement and compliance measures. This development comes as Canada seeks to modernize its regulatory tools to keep nicotine products out of the hands of youth.

The latest review focuses primarily on addressing industry non-compliance. To ensure manufacturers and retailers adhere to the law, Health Canada is exploring several modernized oversight strategies, including:

• AI and Automation: Deploying artificial intelligence to streamline and enhance compliance-monitoring activities.
• Inter-Agency Collaboration: Strengthening information-sharing networks between federal, provincial, and territorial enforcement partners.
• Indigenous Engagement: Maintaining meaningful dialogue with Indigenous Peoples regarding the ceremonial and traditional uses of tobacco.

While overall smoking and youth vaping rates have declined in recent years, tobacco use remains a severe public health crisis in Canada. The TVPA, which regulates the manufacture, sale, promotion, and labeling of these products, is undergoing structural updates to match this evolving landscape. Earlier this month, the government proposed extending the TVPA’s legislative review cycle from every two years to every five years to allow for more comprehensive, long-term assessments.
