Health Act 2006

45.Subsection (6) makes provision in respect of the matters such regulations may deal with, including the circumstances and conditions under which, and the times at which, premises may be exempt from the smoke-free requirement. Subsection (7) provides that regulations may also make provision for the designation of rooms in which smoking may be permitted. This would enable provision to be made for designated smoking rooms, for example, in premises such as hotels, prisons or long term adult care homes or in other premises where it may be impossible for smoking to take place outside for safety, health or practical reasons, such as oil rigs.
