煙草在線據(jù)《數(shù)字雜志》報(bào)道編譯　　三個(gè)月的警告期結(jié)束了，現(xiàn)在是在更多公共場(chǎng)所禁止吸煙的時(shí)候了。渥太華市在4月份制定了吸煙禁令，現(xiàn)在，這項(xiàng)禁令開(kāi)始生效了。如果你被抓住在公園里吸煙的話，請(qǐng)準(zhǔn)備好305加元的罰款吧。

　　7月3日星期二，渥太華公共衛(wèi)生署宣布，該市批準(zhǔn)的條例修正案將開(kāi)始生效。在進(jìn)行幾次公眾意見(jiàn)征集和對(duì)公眾意見(jiàn)進(jìn)行研究之后，渥太華市實(shí)施進(jìn)一步的無(wú)煙法規(guī)，將限制吸煙者可以吸煙的公共場(chǎng)所。

　　渥太華公共衛(wèi)生署指出，三個(gè)月的時(shí)間超過(guò)了足以讓居民自我教育吸煙禁令所需的時(shí)間。這項(xiàng)條例一天24小時(shí)，一周7天都適用。上上周（6.24-6.30），渥太華市將中東的水煙hookahs，也添加到了吸煙禁令適用之列——不過(guò)，水煙獲準(zhǔn)在露臺(tái)適用。

　　吸煙者將被禁止在包括海灘、市政設(shè)施的外部、公園、游樂(lè)場(chǎng)和體育場(chǎng)在內(nèi)的所有市政土地上吸煙。此外，吸煙者還不可以在室外飯店和酒吧露臺(tái)以及ByWard 和 Parkdale市場(chǎng)的攤位吸煙。

　　在過(guò)去的90多天里，違反吸煙禁令的人被警告。從7月3日星期二開(kāi)始，如果人們被抓住在任何以上提及的地方吸煙，就會(huì)被給予305加元的罰單。

　　渥太華條例服務(wù)處領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人Linda Anderson對(duì)加拿大廣播電臺(tái)580 CFRA說(shuō)，她意識(shí)到執(zhí)行這項(xiàng)條例會(huì)非常困難，尤其是考慮到現(xiàn)在是夏天，游客會(huì)在未來(lái)幾個(gè)月里在全市到處游玩。不過(guò)，她堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為，渥太華市還會(huì)在吸煙和吸煙禁令方面教育公眾。

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.
