What if someone smokes where they shouldn ?
• If you are a patron in a nonsmoking venue then you can expect to not have anyone smoke near you. • As a member of the public, you could point out that the area is nonsmoking and ask them to stop. Let the occupier know the situation. If someone continues to smoke, the occupier is required to take steps. They could call the Police who can issue on-the-spot fines. • If the situation occurs in a workplace, Work Health Officers are empowered to issue on-the-spot fines. • The experience in all other States and Territories has been that smokers are more than willing to comply with smokefree legislation.
