What does the smokefree law expect from the following businesses?
- Hotels, B&Bs, pubs with bedrooms: All public areas, e.g. reception, dining, bar and corridors, now need to be smokefree. The legislation does not require smokefree bedrooms, but if smoking is allowed in a bedroom it needs to be clearly signposted as ‘smoking room’, its ventilation system does not link into smoke-free public areas and have doors fitted with a mechanically closing device to prevent smoke drift.
- Taxis, mini cabs, private hire care: smokefree at all times and display no-smoking signage
- Hair salons: smokefree at all times, including a shop in a person’s home, and display no-smoking signage
- Shopping malls: totally smokefree including food outlets with no-smoking signage at the entrance to the mall and at the entrances to shops within the mall
- Work vehicles: smokefree at all time if used by more than one person, even if the person is not in the vehicles at the time and display ‘no-smoking’ signage.
- Schools: smokefree in enclosed buildings; schools applying for the National Health School Standard are also required to make their entire site, including grounds, smokefree.
- Pubs: smokefree in the pub itself; smoking is permitted in outside smoking shelters which meets the local authority’s licensing, planning and highways regulations.
