Canada Airport Smoking Regulations
Canada banned smoking in all federally regulated workplaces, including airports, under the Non-smokers’ Health Act and Tobacco and Vaping Products Act. All Canadian airports enforce a strict indoor smoking ban with no exceptions. Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas, typically at least 9 meters (approximately 30 feet) from entrances, though this distance varies by province. Provincial laws add additional restrictions: Ontario requires 9 meters from building entrances, British Columbia requires 6 meters, and Quebec requires 9 meters. E-cigarettes and vaping devices are subject to the same distance restrictions. Cannabis smoking at airports is prohibited even in provinces where recreational cannabis is legal.
