投资加拿大系列专题之六——加拿大电子烟市场规范概述（二）

In addition to federal regulations, provinces, territories, and municipalities in Canada have also enacted laws to regulate vaping products. These laws cover manufacturing, sales, ingredients, and advertising. They typically include provisions that prohibit the sale of vaping products to youth and restrict promotional activities at retail stores.
除此之外，加拿大各省、地区及市也出台了相应法律以规范电子烟产品。这些措施包括生产、销售、成分以及广告的相关规定，尤其强调了禁止向青少年销售电子烟产品，以及限制零售场所的推广活动。
A. In Ontario, Canada, for example, the government of Ontario has introduced laws and regulations for the sale of vaping products. Selling vaping products in Ontario must comply with the provisions of the Ontario Smoke-Free Act, which was introduced in 2017. Vaping products under Ontario laws and regulations include: vapings, components of vapings (e.g., coils), and substances used in the manufacture or sale of vaping products. In Ontario, it is illegal to sell or supply vaping products to young people under the age of 19. Vaping retailers are required to post age-restricted signs based on the vaping products they sell.
以加拿大安大略省为例，安大略省政府出台了售卖电子烟产品的法律法规。在安大略省销售电子烟产品，就必须遵守2017年出台的《安大略省无烟法案》的规定。安大略省法律法规所指的电子烟产品包括：电子烟、电子烟的零部件（例如线圈）以及制造或销售用于电子烟产品的物质。在安大略省，向年龄在19岁以下的青少年出售或提供电子烟产品是违法的。电子烟零售商必须根据其销售的电子烟产品张贴年龄限制标志。
Vaping products can be sold at vaping specialty stores in Ontario. This type of store is a retail store that mainly sells vaping products, needs to be registered with the local public health department, and in the past 12 months of operation, at least 85% of the store's sales have come from vaping products; The rest of the sales come from other items related to vaping products, or items labeled with the name of the vaping store or the name of the vaping product (e.g., branded suitcase). Vaping products and vaping product accessories associated with the brand of vaping products must be hidden before the customer buys the product, and the customer cannot use the vaping product until the customer buys the product, nor can it be promoted in the vaping retail store. Vaping specialty stores must ensure that the public cannot see the vaping products displayed and promoted in the store from outside the store. Intentionally or unintentionally mis-displaying or promoting an vaping product can result in a salesperson or store owner facing charges.
电子烟产品可以在安大略省的电子烟专卖店进行出售。这种店铺是主要销售电子烟产品的零售店，需要在当地公共卫生部门进行注册，并在营业的过去12个月内，店铺至少85%的销售额来自电子烟产品；其余的销售额来自与电子烟产品有关的其他商品，或标有电子烟专卖店名称或电子烟产品名称（例如，品牌手提箱）的商品。与电子烟产品品牌相关的电子烟产品和电子烟产品配件必须在顾客购买之前隐藏起来，在顾客购买电子烟产品之前顾客不能使用，也不能在电子烟零售店进行推广。电子烟专卖店必须确保公众无法从店外看到店内展示和推广的电子烟产品。有意或无意地不当展示或推广电子烟产品的行为可能导致销售人员或店主面临指控。
No person shall sell or offer to sell a vaping product at retail, or distribute or offer to distribute a vaping product, unless it is packaged in accordance with the regulations. A person who, in Ontario, sells or distributes vaping products shall submit reports to the Minister in accordance with the regulations. The sale of flavored vaping products is prohibited in retail establishments that are not specialty vape stores or licensed cannabis retail stores, with the exception of menthol, mint, and tobacco-flavoured vaping products. The sale of vaping products with high nicotine concentrations (greater than 20 milligrams per milliliter) is prohibited in retail establishments that are not specialty vape stores.
任何人不得在零售时销售或提议销售电子烟产品，或分销或提议分销电子烟产品，除非按照规定进行包装。在安大略省销售或分销电子烟产品的人应根据规定向部长提交报告。禁止在非电子烟专卖店或持牌大麻零售店的零售机构销售调味电子烟产品，薄荷醇、薄荷和烟草味电子烟产品除外。禁止在非电子烟专卖店的零售场所销售尼古丁浓度高（每毫升超过 20 毫克）的电子烟产品。
Ontario requires that vaping products must be packaged in accordance with regulations before they can be sold and distributed. Persons who sell or distribute vaping products should submit a report to the Minister of Health as required. In terms of vaping flavors, flavored vaping products may not be sold in non-vaping specialty stores or licensed cannabis retail outlets, except for menthol, menthol and tobacco-flavored vaping products. Vaping products with high nicotine concentrations (more than 20 milligrams per milliliter) must not be sold in retail establishments that are not specialized in vaping stores.

B. Nova Scotia has also introduced laws and regulations related to the sale of vaping products. The sale of vaping products in Nova Scotia must comply with regulations such as the Tobacco Use Act of 2017. In Nova Scotia, the public can see vapings or vaping products displayed in vaping specialty stores from the outside, but vaping specialty stores are not allowed to display any signs or materials that promote the sale of vapings or vaping products.
新斯科舍省也出台了电子烟产品售卖相关的法律法规。在新斯科舍省销售电子烟产品，必须遵守2017年出台的《烟草使用法案》等规定。在新斯科舍省，公众可以从外面看见电子烟专卖店展示的电子烟或电子烟产品，但是电子烟专卖店不得展示任何宣传销售电子烟或电子烟产品的标志或材料。
C. The Tobacco, Smoking and Vaping Reduction Act introduced by Alberta provides mandatory restrictions on the possession, promotion, display, sale and use of vaping products. For example, it is illegal to provide or sell vaping products to people under the age of 18. Vaping products and promotional items must not be displayed in retail stores accessible to minors.
阿尔伯特省出台的《烟草、吸烟和减少电子烟法案》中规定了对电子烟产品的持有、推广、展示、销售和使用的强制性限制。比如，向18岁以下的人提供、出售电子烟产品都是违法的。电子烟产品以及推广物品不得陈列在未成年人可以接触到的零售店。
D. In British Colombia, the sale, display, promotion, and use of vaping products are governed by federal and provincial laws. The Tobacco and Vaping Products Control Act introduced by British Colombia regulates the sale, promotion and use of vaping products. The sale of vaping products is also regulated by the Public Health Act and the Electronic Substances Ordinance.
在不列颠哥伦比亚省，电子烟产品的销售、展示、推广和使用都受联邦和省法律的约束。不列颠哥伦比亚出台的《烟草和电子烟产品控制法》规范了电子烟产品的销售、推广和使用。《公共卫生法》和《电子物质条例》也对电子烟产品的销售进行了监管。
E. In Saskatchewan, the Tobacco and Vaping Products Control Act and the Tobacco and Vaping Products Control Regulations regulate the use and sale of vaping products. Effective February 1, 2024, the legal age to purchase vaping products in Saskatchewan has been raised from 18 to 19 years old. As of September 1, 2021, most flavored vaping products are only available for adults to purchase at vaping specialty stores. Saskatchewan prohibits advertising and promotion of vaping products on outdoor billboards of any kind, including billboards or mobile advertising or advertisements on benches, vehicles, buildings, or other structures.
在萨斯喀彻温省，《烟草和电子烟产品控制法案》和《烟草及电子烟产品管制条例》规定了电子烟产品的使用和销售。自2024年2月1日起，萨斯喀彻温省购买电子烟产品的法定年龄从18岁提高到19岁。自2021年9月1日起，大多数口味的电子烟产品仅供成人在电子烟专卖店购买。萨斯喀彻温省禁止在任何类型的户外广告牌上投放电子烟产品的广告和推广，包括：广告牌或移动式广告；或者是长凳、车辆、建筑物或其他建筑物上的广告。
F. Due to the rapid increase in the number of people using vapings among Canadian youth, the Canada Ministry of Health has determined that promotional activities related to vaping products are one of the key factors contributing to the problem of vaping use among teenagers. Health Canada is concerned that the problem of vapings plagues young people, so Canada passed the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, which establishes a strong regulatory framework for vaping products and prohibits advertising to attract young people to use vapings.
由于加拿大青少年使用电子烟的人数迅速增加，加拿大卫生部已经确定，与电子烟产品相关的推广活动是导致青少年吸电子烟问题的关键因素之一。加拿大卫生部担心年轻人受到电子烟问题的困扰，因此，加拿大通过了《烟草和电子烟产品法案》，对电子烟产品建立了强有力的监管框架，禁止投放广告吸引年轻人使用电子烟。
Regarding the regulation of vaping advertising, Canada has also developed some measures in the Vaping Product Promotion Regulations that can reduce the impact of vaping product promotion on young people. The regulation prohibits the promotion of vaping products and branding elements associated with vaping products in a way that young people can see or hear, including the display of vaping products at points of sale that young people can see, and it also requires all vaping advertisements to use warnings that vaping products are harmful to health.
关于电子烟广告方面的规范，加拿大在《电子烟产品推广法规》中也制定了一些措施，可以减轻电子烟产品推广对年轻人的影响。该法规禁止以年轻人可以看到或听到的方式宣传电子烟产品和与电子烟产品相关的品牌元素，包括在年轻人可以看到的销售点展示电子烟产品，并且该法规还要求所有电子烟广告都要使用电子烟产品有害健康的警示用语。
In eight provinces with vaping legislation, promotional activities in retail establishments have been restricted. Some new legislation is awaiting approval in British Colombia, Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Finland and Labrador, and Saskatchewan, which will prohibit the display and promotion of vaping products in retail establishments accessible to young people and require signs showing the availability and price of vaping products in retail establishments.
在有电子烟立法的8个省份，零售场所的推广活动受到了限制。不列颠哥伦比亚省、马尼托巴省、魁北克省、安大略省、新不伦瑞克省、新斯科舍省、爱德华王子岛省、纽芬兰和拉布拉多省以及萨斯喀彻温省的一些新的立法正在等待批准，这些新的立法将禁止在年轻人可以进入的零售场所展示和推广电子烟产品，并要求在零售场所设置显示电子烟产品可用性和价格的标志。
In terms of advertising outside of retail establishments, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and Saskatchewan will pass legislation to restrict the advertising of vaping products on vehicles, buildings, or outdoor structures such as billboards. Ontario prohibits vaping advertisements in entertainment venues such as movie theaters and restaurants. Other jurisdictions (Colombia, Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Yukon, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories) have not taken steps to further restrict advertising in public places outside of retail locations. The province of Quebec prohibits the online sale of vaping products and only allows vaping advertisements to be placed in newspapers and magazines with an adult readership of at least 85%. Among the Canada provinces, only Quebec requires advertisements for permitted vaping products in its jurisdiction to include warnings about harmful health in their jurisdictions.
在零售场所之外的广告方面，马尼托巴省、爱德华王子岛省和萨斯喀彻温省将通过立法，限制在车辆、建筑物或户外建筑物（如广告牌）上投放电子烟产品的广告。安大略省禁止在电影院和餐馆等娱乐场所播放电子烟广告。其他司法管辖区（不列颠哥伦比亚省、阿尔伯塔省、新不伦瑞克省、新斯科舍省、育空地区、努纳武特地区和西北地区）没有采取措施进一步限制在零售场所以外的公共场所投放广告。魁北克省禁止在线销售电子烟产品，只允许在成人读者群不低于85%的报纸和杂志上刊登电子烟广告。在加拿大各省中，只有魁北克省要求在其管辖范围内允许的电子烟产品广告上标注有害健康的警示语。
