Smoking or Non-Smoking?

When the news came out in May 2006, I had talked about it in the trucking news and thanked David Bradley of the OTA about the clarifying of the impacts of the provincial laws and federal chartered companies.

If you are working for a provincially chartered company in Quebec or Ontario, you cannot smoke in your work environment. If the company is under a federal charter, the description of the smoke-free workspace does not include a motor vehicle and you can still smoke while driving.

Also if you are an owner-operator, you can still enjoy your tobacco addiction.

It’s not specified that a carrier can ban smoking.
