Smoking bylaws hammered

RECENTLY announced
provincial legislation
will allow individual
municipalities to pro-
hibit smoking in various
types of hospitality
industry establishments.

Geotirey Howes, vice-presi-
dent of Government Affairs for
the BC Restaurant and
Foodservices Association
(BCRFA), said the legislation is
unnecessary because WCB reg-
ulations will be coming into
effect Jan. 1, 2000 which will
ban all smoking in all hospirali-
ty industry establishments
province-wide.

BCRFA is concerned that

the new legislation will only
serve to compound the current
patchwork of bylaws that exists
berveen different: municipali-
ties and different classes of hos-
pizality establishments.

Local smoking — bylaws
affecting, the hospitality indus-
try are established according to
liquor licence class (hotel, pub,
restaurant ).

One of the intentions of the
WCB regulation, stated by
both the government and the
WCB, is to create a level play-
ing field for all these hospitality
industry businesses in protect-
ing workers from environmen-
tal tobacco smoke.

Howes said the ongoing
patchwork approach to health

protection has only shifted
smokers from one type of
establishment to another and
trom) one municipality to
anocier. In) the meantime,
licenced restaurants subjected
co the 100% ban in Vancouver,
Burnaby and New Westminster
have seen their business drop
by as much as 25%. Howes
believes the provincial govern-
ment’s motivation behind the
new legislation secms to be a
face-saving = measure for
Burnaby council. In June,
Burnaby’s bylaw was over-
turned by the Supreme Court
on the grounds that the
Municipal Act only gives a kucal
government the power to reg-
ulate, not prohibit.
