As we previously reported, the new Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 (SFOA) was to
come into force on July 1, 2018.
That coming into force date has been postponed indefinitely to
give the new government an opportunity to review the new
regulations related to vaping.
Until the SFOA is proclaimed into force, the existing Smoke-Free Ontario Act and Electronic Cigarettes Act, 2015 remain in
force.
Note that this legislation applies to provincially regulated
workplaces. Federally regulated workplaces are subject to the
federal Non-smokers' Health Act.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
