Smoking and Vaping
The HKPR District Health Unit offers guidance, materials, and assistance to individuals seeking to quit smoking and vaping. The Health Unit's Tobacco Control Officers play a vital role in upholding compliance with the Smoke Free Ontario Act, which prohibits smoking and vaping in enclosed public spaces, workplaces, and work vehicles. Their responsibilities extend to ensuring that tobacco and vapour product vendors adhere to regulations pertaining to the sale of age-restricted items.
