Smoking is prohibited in public places and workplaces. Smoking shisha or hookah (a water pipe used to smoke tobacco and herbal products) is also considered smoking. Please refer to the Regulations Concerning the Use of Smoking and Vaping Products (No. 2019-241) for more information.
To report a smoking violation, please select from the following list of locations or situations:

Please note that we will do our best to have a by-law officer attend your location, although it may not be possible for one to arrive in time. We are, however, tracking all reported violations of the smoke-free regulations and the information provided will help us to determine problem areas within the City. With this information, by-law officers can conduct focused enforcement efforts based on data collected from public complaints and from staff reports as well.
