After Alberta, now Ontario is going to ban sales of tobacco products which are candy flavoured.

The projected bill is going to have an extension of the existing constraint on sales of cigarillos which are fruit and candy flavoured. There will be a complete ban on chewing tobacco among the youth. However, there is going to be exemption for adult-favoured products which are menthol flavoured.

The banned products will include flavoured products like dissolvable strips, lozenges and twist sticks which contain tobacco. However, if those products contain no tobacco but nicotine only, those will be banned. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, lozenges which have candy-like look and feature in colourful packs contain three times more nicotine than cigarette.

Tobacco companies target flavoured products for using them as a legal procedure for selling tobacco among kids in a legal way. The government of Ontario mentions in the government Web site that it is a way of protecting the Ontario youth from smoking and its harmful effects. It will help them lead a healthy and active life.

According to the government Web site, the province is going to propose 'regulatory' changes for proposed measures like banning smoking in public places such as sport fields, restaurants, bar patios and playgrounds. The government will increase the fine for people who sell tobacco among youth. Apparently, Ontario is going to have the highest amount of penalty in the entire country.

There is going to be a strengthened enforcement for allowing tobacco tests in water pipes inside public places indoors. There will be a ban on sales of tobacco on post-secondary education campuses. The same ban will be imposed on some of the government properties in the province like 1 Stone Road (Guelph) and Macdonald Block (Toronto).

The government Web site claims that the government has already taken measures for protecting young people from getting exposed to tobacco in motor vehicles. There will be a ban on tobacco use in public places indoors as well as workplaces.

The Web site also claims that 66 per cent of Ontario population want smoking to be banned from public places like bar patios and restaurants.
