Smoke-Free East.ca

Tobacco use is the biggest preventable cause of death and disease in Ontario. It kills 13,000 Ontarians each year. With the implementation of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, in 2006, the Ontario Government protects the health of all Ontarians by prohibiting smoking in enclosed workplaces and enclosed public places among other things. The Ministry of Health Promotion relies heavily on Local Public Health Units to inform, educate, provide appropriate resources and communicate with the public on all tobacco prevention, protection and cessation initiatives undertaken by various agencies. As a result the eastern region health units have created www.smokefreeeast.ca to uniformly serve the residents in Eastern Ontario.
