Convenience Store Fined for Selling Flavored E-cigarette Products in Quebec

An Ottawa convenient store in Quebec was fined for selling flavored e-cigarettes and sprays to minors.

According to reports from Ottawa, Canada this week, a convenience store in Quebec City was fined by local authorities for selling flavored e-cigarettes and spray products in violation of tobacco control laws.

According to the police, they conducted a search at a convenience store on Labrosse Boulevard on Wednesday after receiving public reports of the store selling tobacco and spray products to minors. During the operation, the police seized 143 flavored e-cigarettes, 48 flavored e-liquids, 25 packs of flavored nicotine films, and equipment supporting illegal sales. The police also reported that they found 5 prohibited knives during the search.

The owner of a convenience store will receive a fine according to the Tobacco Control Act, with authorities indicating that additional charges may also be filed.

Notable for the year October 2023, Quebec province banned the sale of flavored e-cigarette products in stores, other than tobacco flavor, and also imposed restrictions on the maximum concentration of nicotine in vaping products.
