Will this even help?!

EDIT:
Of course not, I guess its a start, It will help a bit but people still break the rules all the time and its hardly even enforced. I see people smoking in bus shelters and outside the doorway of malls, hospitals, you name it.

My solution/a better solution...
I'm so gonna be flamed for this comment ....but....

Ban Tobacco! No tobaaco sales, and illegal to use anywhere in Canada!

Of course people are going to say that they can't quit smoking, so how about every single year the age limit for smoking increases. In about a hundred years smoking will be totally Banned!
By then I'll probably have cancer from second hand smoking though.....

As for choice? Screw choice, if its illegal to harm others, then it should be illegal to harm yourself(I think there is some sort of law for this), and therefore smoking should be illegal.

Are u addicted to second hand smoke?

I believe it does help, even if smokers follow these rules only half of the time, that's half less smoke in public area. Making it hard for smokers may give them the extra incentive to break the habit. Compare to some other countries, Canada has far less smokers and this will only help it further.

why why not simply sell $50 a pack?

to be frank, after ppl smoke and get on the skytrain, i could still smell his tobacco inside the train sitting in front of him...those are 2nd hand smoke too!

I absolutely hate it when people smoke in bus lineup and the smoke blows directly to you, and if you walk away, you lose your spot.

As for increasing the cost, I agree that increasing the tobacco tax to a certain level to subsidize the current health care system that is running inefficiently.
