Protecting the public

In 2017 an Ontario law known as the Smoke Free Ontario Act, 2017 came into force (replacing the previous version which had been on the books since 1994). It prohibits smoking on patios and in playgrounds as well as the sale of tobacco products on university and college campuses.

Do you think that this is a good approach to protecting the public?

What about the impact of the law on restaurant owners who have patios?

As a business owner how would you feel about this law?

Should the smoking of marijuana (since legalized) be treated in the same or different fashion?
