I don't believe so, but I am not a lawyer by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know nearly enough about the F&D Act or how far HC's arm reaches. Anything I've seen about communication with HC has been letters sent requesting the vendors to stop doing what they're doing, but I don't know how far it COULD escalate. For the most part (from what I've read) the people hit hardest by it are
1) Vendors who've just gone a little deeper in the web and now only use interac as payment.
2) Orders from overseas and US being seized and returned to vendor, customs does manage to catch them on occasion.

As far as I know, Health Canada is only mandated to regulate the supply side of these kinds of things. They have no authority or regulations regarding what the consumer does, only the merchant.

It certainly seems like all the risk involved in making and selling nic juice rests on the supplier, not the consumer.

There are no laws on the books regarding the sale of use of electronic cigarettes, but Health Canada has regulatory control over nicotine, and as such has not yet authorized it for sale in the form we use it. If we as consumers can get it, we can use it and there are no laws that can stop us from doing so. It is only the sale of nicotine liquids that they can put a stop to. And, by a twist of tortured logic, blank cartos and clearos, allegedly because they "may contain traces of nicotine." I wish I were joking. Curiously, there have been cases where customs, apparently at Health Canada's request, will stop shipments of straight up flavourings if they are addressed to a known E-liquid vendor -- Jugheads has had it happen to him twice so far that I know of.
