SmokeFree NT

SmokeFree NT refers to the laws that prohibit smoking in public places. Many places became smokefree on 1 January 2003, others became smokefree or partially nonsmoking, on 31 May 2003, World No Tobacco Day.

Over the past 30 years, research has increasingly revealed the harmful effects of passive smoking, especially to children, unborn babies, and people with underlying heart or lung conditions. These laws will help protect Territorians, in their work and leisure, from the negative health effects of passive smoking. They will also assist to protect business from litigation if their staff or patrons become sick from tobacco related illnesses.
