Although there’s no official sales data available in
Canada, there’s no denying that electronic cigarettes are
growing in popularity. E-cigarettes exist in a regulatory
gray area; currently there is no control of product
quality/safety, age restrictions, or indoor ban. To further
complicate the issue, Health Canada has declared that
e-cigarette models containing nicotine have not been
approved for sale or importation in Canada. To this
effect, Health Canada has sent numerous cease and
desist orders to vendors selling such products.

However, without any regulations, it remains uncertain
what Health Canada can do to enforce compliance. In
fact, several businesses openly and proudly flaunt the
cease and desist order.
