Tobacco Reduction - Smoke Free Public Places

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness, disability and premature death in Canada. Smoking is a major contributing factor to a number of chronic diseases and deaths. Second hand smoke can cause serious health concerns for children and all non-smokers in our communities.

Saskatchewan Health ensures co-ordination of tobacco policy across sectors and leads the implementation of organizational policies and legislation that support reducing tobacco use. The ministry also makes available and accessible information about tobacco and tobacco related issues, which address prevention, cessation, protection and "denormalization."

A copy of The Tobacco Control Act and The Tobacco Control Regulations are available on the Saskatchewan Government, Queen’s Printer Web Site.

Information about the Tobacco Control Act, and how to comply with it.

Young people in Saskatchewan take part in events to reduce the use of tobacco.
