Smoking bans protect from the harms of second-hand smoke. There is no safe level of exposure to second-hand smoke. Smoking bans in outdoor public areas have been have made because:

  • they are often visited by children and families and they can be crowded
  • they allow limited opportunity for people to avoid second-hand smoke
  • this approach will achieve an important reduction in many people’s exposure to second-hand smoke and;
  • this approach will create a more supportive environment for those who have quit.

If you think a smoking ban has been broken, please advise the NSW Ministry of Health by completing the online reporting form.

Tobacco Sales to Minors

By Health Promotion

Tobacco Sales 2 Minors

Central Coast Health Promotion Service conducts compliance testing of tobacco retailers as a means of enforcing the ban on sales of cigarettes to under eighteen year olds.

Teen volunteers were first engaged in testing retailer-selling behaviour in 1994. A unique feature of the Central Coast where big reductions in teen smoking occurred between 1996 and 1999 was the emphasis on direct intervention in supply. through conducting sales to minors operations.
