Are hotel rooms exempt from the smoking ban from 1st July? |
Travel Info Are hotel rooms exempt from the smoking ban from 1st July? Travel Tips Yes, some hotel rooms will be exempt from the smoking ban as will bedrooms in care homes, hospices and prisons as these are classed as private dwellings. Go to www.smokefreeengland.co.uk and click on FAQ then exemptions. Edit - Seeing as I got a thumbs down, I have posted the relevant section below: "What places are exempt under the draft regulations?" There are very limited exemptions from the new law, as set out in the Smoke-free (Exemptions and Vehicles) Regulations. These regulations include exemptions for bedrooms in hotels, and for care homes, hospices and prisons. In most cases, exemptions do not apply to the entirety of premises, but to "designated rooms", that must meet requirements specified in the regulations. View the Smoke-free (Exemptions and Vehicles) Regulations (new window) "Am I going to be guaranteed a smokefree hotel room? What is to stop the hotelier letting the room as smoking one day and smokefree the next?" While smokefree legislation will not guarantee that people will get a smokefree hotel room, the regulations will require that hotel proprietors specifically designate the hotel rooms that are not smokefree and ensure that hotel rooms for smoking are clearly sign posted. Source(s): Smoke Free England Website, although info is the same on all the sites relating to 1st July Other Travel Tips No!!! Yes, providing they are permanently used as smoking rooms, and that the ventilation (if any) doesn't filter into any other area of the hotel. i dont think so as they are public places arent they?? but no i dont think youd be allowed but you could always ask the hotel manager!!! no, it's a public place. no |
