Is smoking banned within certain distances of non-residential building entrances under the NSW Smoke-free Environment Act?
The Smoke-free Environment Act does not ban smoking within a prescribed distance from the entrance to non-residential buildings such as banks, shopping centres and offices. Some organisations have voluntarily adopted this policy, whilst others direct smokers to use a designated outdoor smoking area. Some councils have also introduced a ban within a certain distance of buildings in their shire. Check with your council if any restrictions apply.
