Analysis
The TPCA prohibits smoking “within a prescribed distance from a window of, ventilation inlet of, doorway to or entrance into a public place.” The Minister has not yet issued the regulations prescribing the distance within which smoking is prohibited. Therefore, this prohibition is not yet in force.
