Who is charged for not complying with the by-law?
Patrons/employees will be fined for smoking in a premise that is clearly identified with No Smoking signs. Owners/employers will be prosecuted for non-compliance with the by-law if they do not have the proper signs posted at each entrance to the building, or if they or their staff provide ashtrays for their patrons/employees. In cases where the owner/employer is not prohibiting smoking by patrons/employees, the owner and/ or staff will be charged.
