publicleducation buildings in'Iiuron Com-
ty'will become smoke free.
At:the Huron County Board of Educe-
_tion's-;last meeting of `1988, trustees voted
unanimously that `TALL :Huron County
'Board of Education buildings become
smoke free, effective January 1, 1990.''
The 'board's -motion is a `reaction to Bill
194, the Smoking in :the Workplace Act,
passed by the Ontario legislature to
'restrict smoking in the workplace in the
new year
.Bill 194 offers provision for employers
to provide designated 'smoking areas, but
.the Huron board's motion does not offer
this possibility.
Newly eleetes hoard chairman Joan
Van Den 'Breeck, said trustees' discussion
of the smoking issue was unambiguous
"It's an :issue of the times. It's hard to
come out in favor of smoking,"
The chairman said the board aid have
concerns with the smoking Legislation,
such as that students prevented from
smoking on school grounds may go only
private property to smoke and cause a
disturbance or nuisance, which will have
to be dealt with.
She added that the board passed the
motion in the spirit of showing that the
Huron County Board of Education sup-
ports anti -tobacco initiatives. without hav-
ing to rely on the provincial government
to take criticism which may come with
this decision
Van Den Broeck said the no -smoking

regulations will apply to board buildings
even after school hours.
The board also considered its respon-

grams for students and employees. There
are initiatives for students to receive "help
quitting smoking through educational pro-
grams and individual .counselling.
Employees have access to a number of
programs which are offered by various
cooperating agencies.
The board anticipates that because Bill
194 covers all workplaces and not just
government buildings there will be more
cessation programs offered in the near
future.
