Tobacco Control
The Environmental Health Section is responsible for a range of legislation covering tobacco control issues including the sale and display of tobacco products and the smoke free legislation.
Smoke Free NI
All of Northern Ireland's workplaces and public buildings have been smokefree since April 2007.
The Smoking (NI) Order 2006 affects most businesses in Northern Ireland including factories, offices, bars and restaurants as well as work vehicles and public transport.
This law also applies to enclosed public places such as community and church halls, sports centres, shopping centres and schools.
Our Environmental Health team is available to answer any smoke-free queries businesses may have.
There has been very high level of compliance across all types of workplaces and businesses since 2007, however there are still issues with smoking in both taxis and work vehicles.
