Enforcement actions
Public disclosure of Smoke-Free Ontario Act conviction results
KFL&A Public Health is required to publicly disclose all owner-related tobacco and vapour product sales offence convictions in the KFL&A area on their website within two weeks of the conviction. Conviction reports must be published for five years.
Disclaimer: Prospective buyers of tobacco retail dealer premises are strongly encouraged to contact the local public health unit to confirm premises conviction history. A premise with two or more tobacco sales convictions against any owner (past or present) at that address within a five year period is subject to a Notice of Prohibition Against the Sale, Storage and Delivery of Tobacco Products (known as an automatic prohibition or “AP”). Section 22 of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 (SFOA) states that upon becoming aware that there are two or more convictions against any owner for tobacco sales offences committed at the same place within a five year period, the Ministry of Health shall notify the owner(s) or occupant of the place that the sale, storage and delivery of tobacco products is prohibited at the place. The Ministry of Health accepts requests from public health units for automatic prohibitions where owner(s) of the business was or were convicted of tobacco sales offences on two occasions. The SFOA convictions report published on public health units’ websites lists all owner related tobacco sales convictions that are eligible for an automatic prohibition. Please note that automatic prohibitions do not apply to vapour products sales convictions.
The following tobacco retailers have been convicted under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act:
