Smoking prohibition

How do I complain about smoking in public places?

Smoke-free premises

If they are totally or substantially enclosed, smoking is not allowed in all:

• business premises
• public places
• common parts of multi-occupied premises.

There are certain exemptions to premises where people both live and work, for example, prisons, residential homes and hospices.

All these premises must display the appropriate signage.

Smoke-free vehicles

Smoking is also not allowed in all:

• buses
• trains
• taxis and private hire vehicles
• vehicles used at a workplace by more than one person.

All these vehicles must display the appropriate signage.
