Disposition versions
16. The operator of a place or business may not have a tobacco vending machine installed, or leave or keep a tobacco vending machine in the place or business.
16. The operator of a place or business may not cause an automatic vending machine designed for the sale of tobacco to be installed or left or kept in a place except a place or business where minors are not admitted pursuant to the Act respecting offences relating to alcoholic beverages (chapter I‐8.1) or, where the machine is equipped with remote electronic control, in a place or business for which the operator holds a restaurant sales permit or a restaurant service permit within the meaning of the Act respecting liquor permits (chapter P‐9.1).
The operator must post on the vending machine a warning attributed to the Minister concerning the harmful effects of tobacco on health as soon as the warning is provided by the Minister.
In addition, the automatic vending machine must be installed in such a way that the operator of the place or business is able to monitor the use of the machine directly to ensure that no minor has access to it.
