Smoke-free areas have been introduced to reduce exposure to harmful second-hand cigarette smoke. They cover public areas where people – especially children – gather.
Smoke-free areas include:
- Inside public places (such as restaurants and shops) and within 3 metres of an entry to a public building.
- Pedestrian malls.
- Between the flags on patrolled beaches and outdoor areas at public pools.
- Outdoor dining areas at times when food can be eaten.
- Within 10 metres of playground equipment.
- Within 20 metres of competition and seating areas at sportsgrounds.
- Bus malls and within 3 metres of bus shelters.
- In cars when a child (under 18 years) is inside.
- Most public events
