The "Tobacco Act" prohibits the sell of tobacco products to young persons (18 years of age or less) and requires retailers of tobacco products to post signs that inform the public that furnishing tobacco products to young persons is prohibited by law. These regulations specify the place, manner, form and content of signs to be posted in retail outlets. The regulations also set out the documentation that may be used to verify the age of the person purchasing tobacco products and exempt duty-free shop operators.
Proof of Age
Only the following documentation can be used to verif the age of a person (choose one):
1. A driver's licence
2. A passport
3. A certificate of Canadian citizenship that contains the person's photograph
4. A Canadian permanent resident document
5. A Canadian Armed Forces identification card
6. Any other documentation that is issued by a federal or provincial authority or a foreign government, and contains the person's photograph, date of birth and signature.
