烟草在线据《数字杂志》报道编译　　三个月的警告期结束了，现在是在更多公共场所禁止吸烟的时候了。渥太华市在4月份制定了吸烟禁令，现在，这项禁令开始生效了。如果你被抓住在公园里吸烟的话，请准备好305加元的罚款吧。

　　7月3日星期二，渥太华公共卫生署宣布，该市批准的条例修正案将开始生效。在进行几次公众意见征集和对公众意见进行研究之后，渥太华市实施进一步的无烟法规，将限制吸烟者可以吸烟的公共场所。

　　渥太华公共卫生署指出，三个月的时间超过了足以让居民自我教育吸烟禁令所需的时间。这项条例一天24小时，一周7天都适用。上上周（6.24-6.30），渥太华市将中东的水烟hookahs，也添加到了吸烟禁令适用之列——不过，水烟获准在露台适用。

　　吸烟者将被禁止在包括海滩、市政设施的外部、公园、游乐场和体育场在内的所有市政土地上吸烟。此外，吸烟者还不可以在室外饭店和酒吧露台以及ByWard 和 Parkdale市场的摊位吸烟。

　　在过去的90多天里，违反吸烟禁令的人被警告。从7月3日星期二开始，如果人们被抓住在任何以上提及的地方吸烟，就会被给予305加元的罚单。

　　渥太华条例服务处领导人Linda Anderson对加拿大广播电台580 CFRA说，她意识到执行这项条例会非常困难，尤其是考虑到现在是夏天，游客会在未来几个月里在全市到处游玩。不过，她坚持认为，渥太华市还会在吸烟和吸烟禁令方面教育公众。

Canada: Ottawa smoking ban begins, smokers could receive $305 ticket

　　Ottawa - The three-month warning period is over and now it is time to butt out in more public places. The City of Ottawa instituted a smoking ban in April, and now it comes into effect. If you're caught smoking at a park get ready for a $305 fine.

　　Ottawa Public Health announced Tuesday that the city’s adopted amendments to its by-laws will come into effect. Following several public consultations and public opinion research, the city implemented further smoke-free regulations that will limit where smokers can light up in public places.

　　The public health agency noted that three months was more than enough time for residents to educate themselves about the smoking ban. The by-law will be applied 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Last week, the city added hookahs, a Middle Eastern water pipe, to the smoking ban – they will be permitted on patios, though.

　　Smokers will be prohibited from smoking on all municipal properties, including beaches, outside of city facilities, parks, playgrounds and sports fields. Also, they must refrain from smoking at outdoor restaurants and bar patios as well as ByWard and Parkdale Market stands.

　　For the last 90-plus days, offenders were given a warning. As of Tuesday, if a person is caught smoking at any of these locations, he or she will be given a $305 ticket.

　　Linda Anderson, head of the Ottawa Bylaw Services, told 580 CFRA that she realizes it will be difficult to enforce the by-law, especially considering it’s summer and tourists will be traveling all over the city for the next few months. Nonetheless, she maintains the city will still educate the public on smoking and the ban.
