The province is being pressured to get tougher on smoking.

 

The opposition Tories want the provincial smoking ban extended to all school property.
       
Portage MLA David Faurschou sees some benefits to such a ban.
       
It would supplement the existing ban of smoking in public places, and support age regulations for purchasing tobacco products.
      
While most school divisions have imposed such bans, several schools still have designated smoking areas for students and teachers.
