Hi Anne - I would suggest you contact the Program Training and Consultation
Centre in Ontario - they are the provincial resource centre for
community-based tobacco work and have worked extensively with municipal
smoke free public places by-laws.  Their Web site is www.ptcc.on.ca and many
of their resources are on-line.  Josie D'Avernas is the person to speak to
there and her contact info is on the web (Waterloo, ON office).  She could
put you in touch with any number of communities who have successfully
completed the process, are struggling or just beginning.

Hope you are well!

Subject: surveying health care staff on tobacco use, etc


Hello
Capital Health, the district health authority for Halifax, NS and
surrounding communities, is about to create a non-smoking policy for our
facilities and programs.  The policy will also address the support and
cessation needs of staff and patients/clients.  The organization employs
approximately 10,000 people, has tertiary, secondary and primary care
facilities, public health, addiction services, long term care facilites and
rehab services.

Before we go too far, we would like to survey staff re their tobacco use and
readiness to quit, preferred cessation support, and also their support for
implementation of the district policy.  Could anyone offer advice or a
survey tool that could help us?  We have been in touch with Calgary DHA, but
we're wondering if anyone else has experience to share.
Thanks
