Smoking Laws for Smokers

No smoking sign Tobacco smoking remains the largest public health problem in Queensland.

By law and popular demand the Queensland Government introduced Australia’s toughest anti-smoking laws. Final changes took effect in 2006.

The laws benefit patrons, staff and smokers trying to quit and improve the environment for everyone.

Welcome to a cleaner, healthier Queensland.

The laws include:

no-smoking anywhere inside pubs, clubs, restaurants and workplaces
no-smoking in commercial outdoor eating or drinking areas
no-smoking in outdoor public places such as patrolled beaches, children’s playground equipment, major sport stadiums and within 4 metres of non-residential building entrances
no sales of tobacco products to children under 18 years of age.
