On December 15, 2004, the Ontario government tabled Bill 164, An Act to rename and amend the Tobacco Control Act, 1994, which will repeal the Smoking in the Workplace Act and make complementary amendments to other Acts. This new legislation introduces a province wide smoking ban in all enclosed public places including workplaces in Ontario. This Bill will reduce an individual’s exposure to the harm caused by second hand smoke (which is sometimes called environmental tobacco smoke or ETS) and will eliminate the need for municipal non-smoking by-laws. The proposed legislation, if enacted, will come into force by May 31, 2006.
