Formative Evaluation of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act Implementation: Summary of the Baseline Compliance Survey

This is the first in a series of reports about the formative evaluation of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act. The design of the formative evaluation includes three province-wide compliance surveys of randomly selected tobacco vendors and public places (restaurants and bars): one survey conducted before the implementation of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act (May 31st, 2006) and two surveys conducted post-implementation. This report summarizes the first of the three province-wide compliance surveys.
