“The Canadian Constitution Foundation has released an executive statement from a report looking at possible avenues for a constitutional challenge to current and proposed vaping legislation in Canada by Dr Leonid Sirota, professor of law at the Auckland University of Technology Law School. The Foundation says that the “conflation of vaping and smoking within the law runs contrary to the best available evidence and risks conveying to smokers the impression that vaping is not meaningfully different and better than smoking, discouraging them from trying what may be the best harm-reduction method available.” It states the report analyses various constitutional concerns about the regulation of vaping, both in terms of the laws falling outside of federal jurisdiction as well as running afoul of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”
