Environmental Health Officers at Lewes District Council are responsible for enforcing the smokefree law. We are taking an educational approach providing information and support to businesses to enable them to comply with the smokefree law. Formal enforcement will only be taken when the seriousness of the cases warrants such action. Environmental Health Officers started routine inspections of business premises within the district on Monday 2 July 2007. Members of the public who wish to report a breach of the smokefree law within Lewes District can call the compliance line on 01273 484335. The calls taken on this line are passed to the smokefree officer to investigate. Useful Links
