Smoke-Free Workplace Laws

It is now against the law to smoke in virtually all substantially closed public places and workplaces.
Public transport must be smoke-free at all times – including taxis.
Work vehicles used by more than one person must be smoke-free at all times, even if the two people are never in the vehicle at the same time.
The work vehicles rule covers vehicles used for voluntary work. However, vehicles that are used primarily for private purposes will not be required to be smokefree.
If someone smokes somewhere that is legally smoke-free, both the person smoking and the person responsible for the workplace could face a fine.
A public place is considered substantially enclosed if it has a ceiling/roof and the opening in the walls is less than half the total area of the walls. So, for example, most bus stops are considered substantially closed public places.
The substantially closed rule covers temporary buildings such as tents and marquees.
