46.Section 4 enables regulations to be made that designate additional smoke-free places. These will be places that are not already covered by section 2 of the Act. Such places will not need to be enclosed or substantially enclosed. The appropriate national authority may designate a place under this section only if, in the authority’s opinion, there is significant risk that, without designation, persons present in the place would be exposed to significant quantities of smoke. Examples of such places that might possibly be covered by regulations made under this section are sports stadia, bus shelters or entrances to buildings that are not covered within section 2 of the Act. Regulations made under this section may provide for additional places to be smoke-free only in certain circumstances, at certain times, if certain conditions are satisfied or in certain areas (or any combination of those).
