Description

On 5 September 2022, it became an offence for anyone to smoke, or knowingly permit smoking, within 15 metres of a hospital building. This includes awnings, canopies or any other over hanging structure. The new legislation supports the request not to smoke on hospital grounds by introducing fixed penalties and fines for those smoking within 15 metres of a hospital building.
