E-Cigarette Company Installation Shut Down Ny Health Canada

Source from:  CityNews 04/22/2019

Officers from Health Canada shut down an e-cigarette company’s product activation in Yonge-Dundas Square on Sunday afternoon.

The vape pen and cartridge retailer Vype was holding an event in the square when officers ordered them to stop operations around 3 p.m.

A seize order posted on the company’s exhibit says they contravened sections 30.2 & 30.21 of the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act.

The sections in question prevent “lifestyle advertising” that promotes vaping products and the promotion of vaping products through testimonials or endorsements.

Based on the company’s social media posts, they planned to run the pop-up exhibit in the square all through Easter weekend and simply said “At Yonge & Dundas. Vype ePod: Polar Mint, until 4/22.”

CityNews reached out to both Health Canada and Vype for comment but did not receive a response.
