What are smoking policies like in Australia?
The bad news for heavy smokers (good news for non-smokers or those allergic to smoke) is that Australian health policies discourage smoking in almost all enclosed areas. Court cases by victims of second-hand smoke over the past few years have discouraged many companies from allowing smoking anywhere in their buildings, even where no legal requirement exists. Known policies are set out below. Air Travel International agreements between the USA and Australian governments ban all smoking on flights between the two countries. There are absolutely no smoking flights between the USA and Australia. As far as I can determine, flights from Japan to Australia are not subject to government agreements regarding smoking. Smoking policy in these flights is determined by the airlines concerned. Smoking is totally banned on all domestic air travel within Australia. Smoking is banned within all airport terminals within Australia. Ground Transportation Smoking is banned on all urban and suburban trains,
