New Ontario smoking regulations DIANE HUNTER DIANE.HUNTER@EAP.ON.CA
and tobacco sales, Ontario has seen a dec- rease in smoking from 24.5 percent in 2000 to 18.1 per cent in 2013. Tobacco related diseases cost the Ontario health care sys- tem approximately 2.2 billion dollars each year with an additional 5.3 billion dollars in unrelated health care costs such as time off work. The new ban applies to all outdoor public sports facilities such as basketball courts, baseball and soccer fields, ice rinks, tennis courts, splash pads and swimming pools that are owned by a municipality, the pro- vince or a postsecondary educational ins- titution. It is also illegal to smoke on sport surfaces, in spectator areas around sport
fields and 20 metres surrounding these locations. The ban includes playgrounds at hotels, motels and inns. The sale of tobacco pro- ducts on the campuses of postsecondary educational institutions, such as colleges and universities, has also been banned. The new policies apply to buildings and areas that are owned or leased by postse- condary educational institutions or student unions and that are used for students’ edu- cational programs, recreational activities or residential services.

HAWKESBURY | The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has implemented new regulations to the Smoke-Free Ontario Act to protect the public from tobacco and its harmful effects. As of January 1, 2015, it will be illegal to smoke on bar and restaurants patios, and within 20 meters of playgrounds and public sports fields and surfaces. It will also be illegal to sell tobacco products on the cam- puses of post-secondary educational insti- tutions. According to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, smoking is the leading cause of death and disease in Ontario, kil- ling 13,000 each year. The province is imple- menting a strategy, which includes public education as well as legislation and policies to help smokers quit, protect non-smokers from second hand smoke, and educate and
encourage youth to never start smoking. The Smoke-Free Ontario Act bans smoking in enclosed public places, workplaces, and in vehicles when children under the age of 16 are present in the vehicle. The act also prohibits the display of tobacco products prior to purchase by retailers and prohibits youth-targeted tobacco products such as flavoured cigarillos.
