Legal Restrictions in Alberta

As vaping continues to grow in popularity across Canada, understanding how to use and dispose of e-cigarettes responsibly—especially in Alberta—is more important than ever. Legally, you must be 18 years or older to purchase or possess vaping products in Alberta, as outlined in the Tobacco, Smoking and Vaping Reduction Act (TSVRA). Federally, the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (TVPA) sets rules on manufacturing, packaging, and advertising, limiting nicotine content to 20 mg/mL and restricting marketing to adult-only spaces.

Where NOT To Vape

Vaping is prohibited in public indoor spaces, schools, hospitals, workplaces and within 5 metres of entrances, with municipalities like Calgary and Edmonton enforcing stricter bylaws that often treat vaping like smoking. Public etiquette is key—never vape on transit, in parks, playgrounds, or government buildings, and always ask before vaping around others.

Appropriate Vape Disposal

Residual e-liquid can be rinsed with soapy water in small amounts; never pour large volumes down the drain. Clean and recycle packaging where possible contact local e-waste centers for more info in your area. As well as some retailers and Vape shops do accept used disposables or vape products for recycling. Public cooperation is key to reducing toxic waste and negative environmental impact.

Public Awareness

Stay aware and updated on vaping regulation and tips : don’t vape near entrances, don’t share devices, don’t overcharge, and never ignore health warnings. Responsible vaping helps protect youth and minimizes environmental damage from improperly discarded products. Be a role model, respect others, follow local laws, and commit to clean, safe, and considerate vaping practices.
