Complying with the current law is easy:

  • Ensure your workplace smoking policy reflects the law.
  • Talk with your customers and employees about the law.
  • Provide training to employees about how to ask visitors and patrons not to smoke.
  • Post "No Smoking" signs at all building entrances as required as well as in break rooms and places where employees are used to smoking (free signs are available).
  • Remove ashtrays and matchbooks so the message is clear - smoking is no longer allowed in the place of business.

As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure that your workplace is smokefree*.
