Hello,
New introduced has been introduced in the state of New South Wales (NSW)in
Australia.

The Smoke-free Environment Act 2000 requires most enclosed public places in
NSW to be smoke-free. Up until 6 September 2001, pubs, clubs and nightclubs
have been exempted from the legislation. However, from 6 September 2001
(today) certain dining areas of pubs, clubs and nightclubs will be required
to be smoke-free.This is not a blanket ban in pubs, clubs and nightclubs,
just a ban whilstfood is consumed in dining areas. Attached is a file on
how the Act applies to pubs and clubs etc which has been circulated by the
state health deppartment.

I would be interested to hear from people in other countries about their
local legislation - and any thoughts on this new legislation in Australia.

Thanks.
