In a report te, cornmittee, Town clerk Don- McKay says the pro- vince plans te intiroduce a "cein- prehensive strategy te curb tobacco use in Ontario" in the fall, following public consul- tation. The draft lejslation the 'Ontario Tebacce Atý,'duplicates soeeof the provisions of Dur- hami Reg'on's 'model smoking bylaw,' whýich Whitby is censider- e nrhamedel; which the Region doesn't have the auth- ority te mmplement, would regu- late smeking in public places --everywhere from bowling alleys and buses te taxicabs and theatres -- and prohibit it in municipal buildings, public vehi- dles, banks and financial institu- tions, retail shops, elevators and stairwells, public vehicles tran- sit shelters, scheolgrounds and other specific areas. It would aIse require res- taurant operators te designate ne more than 30 percent of their seating areas as smoking areas. Cemmittee aIse recommends council "encourage the comn- munity te follew the Tewn's example" and adopt smoking p olicies consistent with the Dur- ham bylaw. Whitby's new smoking policy, which takes effect June 14 bans smking in aIl Town buildings except trhie seniors centre and the Ashburn, Brooklin and Spencer Community centres, altliough McKay notes the seniors centre board has veted te, beceme a ne-smoking building, effective June 1.

Peter Smith told committee says Durhami has the highest percentage of teennged smokers in Ontario, and a bylaw wouid both encourage them to quit and reduce opportunities for them to amoke. He says a report froin the US Environniental Protection Agency shows second hand smoke is a serieus probiem, and urged committee te "'act im- mediately" to protect kids and others suffering from tobacco smoke.
