A bylaw to regulate the contamination of the environment by tobacco smoke was introduced in the Capital Regional District, Victoria, British Columbia as of January 1st, 1991. This smoking control bylaw rigorously limits smoking in all public premises and restricts size, ventilation and location of designated smoking areas. As of January 1st, 1992 all workplaces in this area have become completely smoke-free. This paper describes the process of developing and implementing a municipal smoking control bylaw. Publicity is essential to raise awareness of the issue and to provide information. Engendering of political and public support and the adoption of an appropriate time line for introduction of the bylaw are also important components of the process. Legislation to control tobacco use has been shown to be an effective component of a comprehensive tobacco reduction strategy. Public health officials are urged to consider the implementation of similar policies to combat the health risks posed by environmental tobacco smoke.
