The Committee was considering the implementation of recommendaâ€" tions contained in a report issued by Halton Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Nosal. If adopted, staff will be requested to amend the Town of Oakville Smoking Byâ€"law and draft a Smoking in the Workplace Byâ€"law which would further restrict the activiâ€" ties of puffers. Ordinarily discussions of smoking issues can be fairly contentious, says Joyce See, public health nurse with the Tobacco Youth Prevention Program. At Tuesday‘s meeting, howâ€" ever, everyone involved seemed bent on ironing out the best byâ€"laws possiâ€" ble. "I felt fairly positive after the meetâ€" ing," said See. The points we disâ€" cussed are all solvable."

Students from New Central School, for example, made a presentation askâ€" ing that service lines in food courts be located in nonâ€"smoking sections. They would also like to see nonâ€"smoking sections in restaurants accessible withâ€" out walking through smoking secâ€" tions. The recommendations will likely be further fineâ€"tuned on Monday when the full Council votes on the matter. If enacted, Dr. Nosal‘s recommenâ€" dations would designate public places in Oakville as nonâ€"smoking. These include cinemas, public washrooms, theatres, sports facilities, malls, launâ€" dromats, health and child care faciliâ€" ties, transit shelters, arcades and gas station kiosks. Reception areas used by offices and residential buildings will also be 100% smoke free. The designated nonâ€"smoking areas in restaurants will be bumped up to 50% and then by 10% for the subseâ€" quent two years "until the percentage of smoking area ... reflects the statisâ€" tics on the nonâ€"smoking public." Places of amusement â€" such as bingo parlors, bowling alleys and bilâ€" liard halls â€" will be added to the byâ€" law, although Dr. Nosal says they should set aside 50% for nonâ€"smoking or provide ventilation to outside air. If all goes well, the new byâ€"laws would follow on the heels of Bill 119, the proposed Ontario Tobacco Control Act, which could be passed as early as this spring. According to Assistant Town Solicitor Doug Carr, further draft changes and amendments may still be required but will be carried out where necessary to prevent inconsisâ€" tencies. Dr. Nosal also asked that fines for nonâ€"compliance with the new byâ€"law be increased from $2,000 to $5,000. As it stands now, Bill 119 includes a provision that permits the more restrictive measure or penalty â€" whether it‘s local or provincial â€" to prevail. Said Dr. Nosal: " ... passage of a Municipal Public Places Byâ€"law that has equal or more stringent restricâ€" tions than Bill 119 can only reinforce the importance this Council places on the protection of the public‘s health." In a questionnaire sent to 405 nonâ€" retail businesses in Oakville with more than 10 employees, 61% of the respondents were in favor of a Municipal Workplace Nonâ€"smoking Byâ€"law. Of those who indicated they were not in favor of workplace restricâ€" tions, 29% do not allow smoking on their premises. A further 1,500 questionnaires were circulated in November through the BIA and Chamber of Commerce newsletters. Of those who replied, 72% of nonâ€"retail businesses were in favor of workplace smoking legislaâ€" tion. If passed, all that‘s left is to deterâ€" mine just how the new byâ€"laws will be enforced. Joyce See hopes funds from the province will be provided to do so.
