Educational and Higher Education Institutions

This amendment, effective September 2018, prohibits smoking in all educational institutions, including higher education institutions and post-secondary institutions with students over 18 (including courtyards and student residences), kindergartens, nurseries, and daycare centers (including courtyards). The smoking ban extends to the premises and an additional 10-meter radius from entrances and exits (excluding residential buildings within this radius). The 10-meter restriction does not apply to playgrounds.

In higher education institutions and post-secondary institutions with students over 18, the institution’s administration may designate a separate smoking room (excluding administrative or faculty offices), provided the room is adequately ventilated and does not cause a nuisance to other areas.
