The adverse effects of direct cannabis use are well described in the literature; however, researchers are now beginning to expose the health consequences of secondhand exposure. Given the commitment by the federal government to legalize cannabis in Canada by summer 2018, public health officials must build on the successes of existing smoke-free programs and work with provinces and municipalities to develop policies that protect the public from secondhand exposure to cannabis smoke and vapour. While harmonization with existing tobacco laws may offer the simplest approach, other alternatives may allow stricter control of public consumption by different levels of government. Further research will be needed to assess the health implications of secondhand cannabis exposure, as well as the population impacts of legalization.
直接使用大麻的不良影响在文献中已有充分描述；然而，研究人员现在开始揭示二手暴露的健康后果。鉴于联邦政府承诺在 2018 年夏天在加拿大使大麻合法化，公共卫生官员必须在现有无烟计划的成功基础上再接再厉，与各省和市政府合作制定政策，保护公众免受二手大麻烟雾和蒸气的暴露。虽然与现有烟草法的协调可能提供最简单的方法，但其他替代方案可能允许不同级别的政府更严格地控制公共消费。需要进一步研究来评估二手大麻暴露的健康影响，以及合法化的人口影响。
