The federal government launched public consultations in September for the second legislative review of the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (TVPA). This review is part of the government’s overall goal of reducing the number of people in Canada who smoke cigarettes and use other tobacco products to less than 5% of the population by 2035. For the recent consultations, the federal government is looking to hear from a range of voices including health professionals, public health advocates, Indigenous peoples and people who smoke or have smoked to help inform the second legislative review of the TVPA. The first legislative review of the TVPA prompted the government to introduce Vaping Products Reporting Regulations to help improve its understanding of the vaping product market. The information gathered through both reviews will help establish a baseline assessment of the TVPA and further track progress towards reducing tobacco use in Canada. Seeking Input on the Reduction of Tobacco Use Feedback can be submitted via email until November 3 at: legislativereviewtvpa.revisionlegislativeltpv@hc-sc.gc.ca
