The final phase of a revamped law aiming to curb smoking in Quebec takes effect on Saturday. Smokers must now stand nine metres away from any opening door, window or air intake of any public or private establishment. The Tobacco Control Act — formerly known as the Tobacco Act — was introduced to crack down on smoking in the province. Over the past year, different phases of the law have restricted the sale, marketing and use of tobacco in Quebec. Businesses such as restaurants and bars that repeatedly allow customers to smoke on their terrasses could face fines of $100,000.
