Key Facts
The Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Prohibition of Smoking in Certain Premises (Scotland) Regulations 2006 come into effect on 26 March 2006 at 6am. The new law is being introduced to save lives and prevent diseases caused by passive smoking1.

From 6am on 26 March 2006 you, your staff, customers and visitors will not be allowed to smoke within your business or organisation’s premises, if these are wholly or substantially enclosed. This includes previously-designated ‘smoking rooms’.

There are very few exemptions to the smoking ban. The new law will affect most public premises, including workplaces and work vehicles. Failure to comply with the law will be a criminal offence. Individuals may be fined a fixed penalty of £50 for smoking in no-smoking premises. The manager or person in control of any no-smoking premises could be fined a fixed penalty of £200 for either:

• allowing others to smoke in no-smoking premises
• failing to display warning notices in no-smoking premises

Refusal to pay or failure to pay may result in prosecution and a fine of up to £2,5003.

Your business or organisation will need to take steps to ensure that employees, customers, members and visitors obey the new law. Authorised officers of the local council will enforce the law and offer businesses support.

No Smoking Signage for Vehicles

You are also required by the law to display ‘No Smoking’ signs in or on any vehicles that are affected by the ban in such a way that the signs can be seen and read by persons who are in the vehicle, as well as persons approaching the vehicle in question.

The reference to vehicles includes trains, buses, taxis, private hire cars and any vessel, boat or hovercraft. There’s no legal requirement on the size of these signs but they must still meet certain requirements. The minimum signage requirement under the new law for any relevant vehicles is a ‘No Smoking’ notice which:
• States that the vehicle is no-smoking and that it is an offence to smoke there or knowingly to permit
smoking there.
• Displays the international ‘No Smoking’ symbol.
• Displays the holder of a particular post (e.g. the manager) to whom a complaint may be made by anyone who observes someone smoking.
