The Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) will begin selling cannabis vaping products on November 26, 2025. The introduction of this new product category is aligned with the company's mission to protect cannabis users' health by selling regulated, lower-risk products, the ultimate goal being to convert users to the legal market.
Vaping refers to the process by which a liquid solution is heated to transform it into an aerosol. Cannabis vaping products have been authorized in Canada under federal law since 2019.
"We have decided to make vaping products available in order to provide a regulated alternative," says Geneviève Giroux, Vice-President, Responsible Merchandising and Supply Chain, at the SQDC. "Vaping is a method of use that has been gaining popularity in recent years and is currently used by 28% of Québec cannabis users. Though vaping comes with health risks, the lack of a legal product offer has made it even riskier due to the hazards inherent in the products available on the illegal market."
According to studies carried out in Canada, illegal vaping products contain many chemicals, including pesticides banned from use in cannabis production or whose concentration significantly exceeds the limit allowed by Health Canada.** They can also be in violation of Québec regulations, with excessive levels of THC and the addition of appealing artificial flavours. Moreover, any claims made about them are unsubstantiated.
