New Canadian Regulations Require Disclosure of E-Cigarette Ingredients and Sales Information

Jul.20.2022
New Canadian regulations will require e-cigarette manufacturers to disclose health information about their products' sales and ingredients.

According to reports, Canada is currently developing a new regulation that would require e-cigarette manufacturers to provide health information regarding sales and ingredients.


Currently, the Canadian Department of Health has limited information regarding the sale and composition of electronic cigarette products, making it difficult to adequately track market trends. To address this issue, Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Health and Deputy Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, has announced a 45-day public consultation period to gather information for the development of new regulations for electronic cigarette products. This will require manufacturers to disclose information regarding their sales and ingredients to the Department of Health, in an effort to maintain market transparency and keep pace with the rapidly growing electronic cigarette market in Canada.


Carolyn Bennett stated, "As the electronic cigarette market continues to rapidly grow, many Canadians, including young people, are beginning to use these products. We are taking action to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the health impacts of these products in order to better protect everyone.

JTI Proposes 25-Cent Irish Cigarette Tax Increase, Says It Could Raise €45 Million
JTI Proposes 25-Cent Irish Cigarette Tax Increase, Says It Could Raise €45 Million
Japan Tobacco International's Irish business has proposed a €0.25 tax increase on a pack of 20 cigarettes in its pre-Budget 2027 submission, below the €0.50-or-more increases typically imposed in recent Irish budgets. JTI says the proposal could generate around €45 million in additional Exchequer revenue while limiting further movement toward illicit and non-Irish-tax-paid tobacco. Revenue's existing estimate for a comparable €0.25 increase, including pro-rata rises on other tobacco products, is about €18 million for a full year.

Australia's federal government introduced a new illicit tobacco enforcement bill on September 10 that would strengthen evidentiary presumptions, representative sampling, seizure and forfeiture procedures, proceeds-of-crime powers and obligations for customs and logistics operators. The proposal follows the Combatting Illicit Tobacco Act 2026, which took effect in August and increased penalties while expanding investigative and asset-recovery tools. Together, the reforms extend Australia's crackdown from tougher criminal sanctions into import, logistics and evidentiary enforcement.
