New No Smoking LawsTake Effect April 1
In it's continuing campaign to protect people from the perils of smoking the Province of BC's anti-smoking laws take effect April 1.
The new regulations will not allow people to smoke in indoor public spaces and that includes those expensive smoking rooms bar owners added a few years ago.
In addition smokers have to light up no closer than three metres from a doorway or window.
Common areas of apartments and hotels, such as halls and laundry rooms as well as transit shelters will also be off limits to smokers.
Comment: Not smoking of course is a great idea. However, whether this is going a little too far will remain to be seen. If smokers and bar owners for example are happy with a well ventilated smoking area, and you were to employ servers who also smoked; does government really have to butt into the lives of these people??
