The Canadian government has proposed the country’s first federal tax on vaping products in its 2022 budget. The vape tax, part of the proposed federal budget announced Thursday, would take effect Oct. 1—if it passes Parliament as written.The proposed tax is substantial, and includes an option for Canadian provinces to piggyback on the federal tax with an equally large assessment of their own. The national government is encouraging provinces and territories to pass equally large taxes, which would be administered by federal tax authorities.

Health Canada issued the recall Wednesday for all lots of eight types of Zyn nicotine pouches. They were flavoured apple mint, bellini,black cherry,citrus, cool mint, espresso,original and spearmint. The pouches had 1.5 or three milligrams of nicotine in them. On Thursday, another recall was issued for eight types of nicotine pouches sold by XQS, containing four and six milligrams of nicotine.

The government says it is unlikely to follow Australia's vaping crackdown - at least this term. The Australian federal government has announced tough new measures in an effort to stop young people vaping. Health Minister Mark Butler said the bright colours, range of flavours, and accessibility had turned a generation of young people into nicotine addicts. "Vaping was sold to governments and to communities all around the world as a therapeutic product to help long term smokers quit. It was not sold as a recreational product, and in particular, not one for our kids. But that is what it's become: the biggest loophole, I think, in Australian healthcare history," Butler told the National Press Club. The Australian government will restrict flavours and colours, bring in "pharmaceutical-style" packaging, reduce the nicotine content, and halve the importation of non-prescription vapes.

Selecting an appropriate pouch strength can help avoid unpleasant side effects. The way nicotine is absorbed when using a pouch-through the gums, primarily-can result in a strong buzz, even for those who are accustomed to nicotine.Nicotine pouches deliver nicotine to your system in different way to vaping and smoking. This means its not always best to opt for the same nicotine strength you’ve used in your vape, for example, as the delivery will likely feel different.

Though brands of oral nicotine pouches were launched throughout the 2010s, it wasn’t until 2020 that they really took off. Sales of oral nicotine pouches have exploded in the years since, with sales increasing 541 percent between 2019 and 2022 — PMI’s Zyn having the largest market share. Not only ZYN ,but also sales of many nicotine pouches brands such as VELO, LYFT, WHITE FOX, DZRT,HELWIT,KILLA,PABLO are increasing sharply. It comes as no surprise that nicotine pouch use is now on the upswing among school-age children. In California, 1.1 percent of high schoolers reported using them regularly in 2023 – a number that nearly doubled in one year. Nicotine pouches were also the number two most common tobacco product eighth graders used in 2023, second only to vapes.

On June 30, almost a year after Panama’s National Assembly passed legislation banning vape product sales, Panamanian President Laurentino Cortizo gave his assent to the bill. The new law prohibits sales and importation of all vaping and heated tobacco products, with or without nicotine. The law does not criminalize use, but bans vaping in any place where smoking is not allowed. The new law also prohibits internet purchases, and gives customs officials authority to inspect, detain and seize shipments. Resellers are allowed to import banned products meant for export to third countries, according to La Prensa.
