For Vendors/Retailers
Up one levelWith the enactment of the Smoke Free Ontario (SFO) Act on May 31st, 2006, greater restrictions were placed on tobacco retailer displays and promotions. In addition, it tightens the restrictions of existing requirements on retailers, requiring them to check identification of anyone appearing under the age of 25. The SFO Act also increases the retailer’s legal responsibility to make sure that their staff do not sell cigarettes to underage children and youth. For more information on how the SFO affects tobacco retailers, please read the articles below or contact the Tobacco Hotline at 519-258-2146, ext. 3218 or tobacco@wechealthunit.org.
