Smokers have lost another battle.
As of New Year's Day, it will be illegal to smoke on bar or restaurant patios, public playgrounds and sports fields. Sales of tobacco will also be prohibited anywhere on a college or university campus.
If we prevent youth from taking up smoking in the first place, that will mean fewer smokers and healthier Ontarians, Associate Minister of Health Dipika Damerla said in a release.
The Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco applauded the newly announced restrictions Friday.
Smoke-free patios are a critical next step in protecting servers and the public. Theyll remove tobacco use as an apparently normal part of friends and families enjoying socializing over food and drinks, the agency's director Michael Perley said in a release.
