Convictions under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017

When a tobacco or vapour products retailer is charged with a sales offence and a conviction is registered, the conviction information is posted on this page. Any new prospective buyer of tobacco retail premises is advised to read the disclaimer under automatic prohibition.

Automatic prohibition
Business name and address	Legal name	Effective date (dd/mm/yy)	End date (dd/mm/yy)
Garthy Convenience & Groceries 1214 Simcoe Street North, Oshawa, Ontario L1G 4W9	Garthy Convenience and Grocery Ontario Inc.	28/08/20	28/02/21
Niruthija Grocery 684 and 686 Hortop Street, Oshawa , Ontario L1G 4N6	Niruthija Grocery Ltd.	03/07/20	03/01/21
Automatic prohibition (AP) is when a store loses the ability to sell or store tobacco products for a minimum of six months. A store is subject to an AP when it has two or more convictions for tobacco sales offences within a five-year period, regardless of a change in ownership.

Disclaimer regarding automatic prohibition

Prospective buyers of tobacco retail dealer premises are strongly encouraged to contact the local public health unit to confirm premises conviction history. A premises with two or more tobacco sales convictions against any owner (past or present) at that address within a five year period is subject to a Notice of Prohibition Against the Sale, Storage and Delivery of Tobacco Products (known as an automatic prohibition or "AP").

Section 22 of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 (SFOA) states that upon becoming aware that there are two or more convictions against any owner for tobacco sales offences committed at the same place within a five year period, the Ministry of Health shall notify the owner(s) or occupant of the place that the sale, storage and delivery of tobacco products is prohibited at the place.

The Ministry of Health accepts requests from public health units for automatic prohibitions where owner(s) of the business was/were convicted of tobacco sales offences on two occasions. The SFOA convictions report published on public health units’ websites lists all owner related tobacco sales convictions that are eligible for an automatic prohibition. Please note that automatic prohibitions do not apply to vapour products sales convictions.
