Creating smoke-free and vapour-free places and spaces in Simcoe Muskoka helps protect everyone's health. The Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 outlines where smoking and vaping (including cannabis) are not permitted, and complaints are followed up by health unit enforcement staff. Workplaces and public places can enhance protections by adopting smoke- and vapour-free policies, as well as smoke-free housing policies that extend beyond the requirements of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017. Together, these efforts reduce exposure to secondhand smoke and vapour, supporting healthier communities.
