VEHICLES.

The smoke-free legislation covers vehicles which are used to transport the public , or which
are used by more than one employee in carrying out work duties-even if this is used at different
times , or only intermittently .
However , private vehicles ( i.e. vehicles which are used primarily for private purposes by persons
who own them or have right to use them in an unrestricted way ) are not required to be smoke free .

Ships and vessels will be covered by regulations to be made by the UK Department of Transport .

MAKING IT CLEAR.

In order to comply with the law , you will be required to display "NO SMOKING" signage in
smoke-free premises and vehicles . Signage requirements are set out in the regulations and are
different for premises and vehicles .
