Members,
Smokers in Ontario and Quebec will have to make some changes and take their smoking habit outside starting at midnight . Laws in both provinces take effect, banning smoking inside any public place.
Each province will be taking their own actions to enforcing the ban in different ways. Ontario is going to be working towards a three strike rule, with cautions,warnings and then fines. Quebec, however will be enforcing the regulations right from the start.
The Smoke-Free Ontario Act applies to virtually every indoor public space, including restaurants with covered patios.
The Tobacco Control Act, 1994 has been appealed and the Smoke-Free Ontario Act has been put into place.
This co-insides with "World No Tobacco Day" and is sure to make everyone extra aware of the dangers of smoking to all.
Be proud and know that you are one step closer to a healthier you.
Let's work together and show them how it is done!
Keep Strong,
Josie
