Does the new smoke free policy infringe upon smokers’ rights and freedoms of choice?
The aim of the Smoke Free WA Health System (SFWAHS) Policy is not to enforce smoking cessation but rather to protect people from the exposure to second-hand smoke. Smoke free policy restricts where people can and cannot smoke. The Policy is in line with recent legislative changes, which has seen smoking bans in other public places such as pubs, clubs and restaurants.
