Chapter 5

Premises and enforcement



[ch 5: pages 87-88]

Smoking is prohibited in any workplaces or public places which are “enclosed” or “substantially enclosed”. This means premises that have a ceiling or walls at least half the way around, including doors and windows. Temporary or moveable walls or roofs (such as awnings) also count as substantially enclosed. Local authorities enforce the regulations.
