What do I need to do to comply with the ban?
If you are involved in the day to day running of a business (e.g. the business proprietor, manager, designated premises supervisor), it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with the legislation.
Specific matters that you must do address include:
- displaying no-smoking notices (as specified in the legislation) so that they are clearly visible to all employees, customers and visitors while they are in the premises
- developing and implementing a smoke-free policy
- removing all ashtrays from premises
- informing anyone smoking that he/she is committing an offence
- requesting that anyone smoking extinguish their smoking material immediately or leave
- refusing service if a customer or member of staff continues to smoke in public
Guidance specific to your business is available by contacting Anglesey County Council by phone, fax, e-mail, in person or in writing.
Further guidance, copies of signage and frequently asked questions are available on the Welsh Assembly Government Smoking Ban Website
