Smokefree law - in the home

Will my home be required to be smokefree?

No. The Government has no intention to make private dwellings and private residential spaces smokefree, except for parts of dwellings used solely as a place of work by more than one person.

I work from home, will it be required to be smokefree then?

It depends. Regulations propose that any parts of a dwelling will be required to be smokefree if they are used solely as a place of work for:

  1. more than one person who does not live in the dwelling,
  2. a person who does live at the dwelling and any person who does not, or
  3. any person whether they live at the dwelling or not, if people who do not live at the dwelling come to give or receive goods or services.
