Smokefree Law
The smokefree law was introduced on 1 July 2007. This prohibits smoking in certain premises, places and vehicles including those open to the public or used as a place of work.
Under the Health Act 2006 and related regulations, any person who occupies or is concerned with the management of these types of premises has a duty to make sure that no smoking signs are displayed in the premises and business vehicles and to prevent smoking in a smoke free place.
Failure to comply is a criminal offence. Local Councils are responsible for enforcement and offences carry fixed penalty notices and fines.
See www.smokefreeengland.co.uk for further information.
If you have any concerns or questions regarding the regulations, please contact one of our Commercial Property specialists.
