If you are in charge of or manage any premises or vehicles that the new law applies to, you will have a legal responsibility to ensure they become and remain smokefree.
To ensure that you are compliant with the law, you’ll need to make sure that:
• You have all the required no-smoking signs in place.
• Your staff, customers, members or visitors are aware that your premises and work vehicles are legally required to be smokefree.
• You have removed any existing indoor smoking rooms.

It is the legal responsibility of anyone who controls or manages smokefree premises and vehicles to prevent people from smoking in them.  You will have to demonstrate that you have taken reasonable steps to meet the requirements of the law. These might include:
• Removing ashtrays
• Introducing a smokefree policy, the Surrey NHS Stop Smoking Service can offer free help. See Stop Smoking Service link.
• Training staff to understand the new law and what their responsibilities are.
