A Note for Smokers
South Africa became one of the first
countries in the world to ban smoking in
public places in 2000 when it introduced
its Tobacco Products Control Amendment
Act. The Act prohibits smoking in
restaurants, pubs, shopping centres and
offices where there are no separate,
enclosed smoking rooms.
Smoking in partially enclosed public
places such as covered patios, verandas,
balconies, walkways and parking areas
is also prohibited. Children under
the age of 18 are prohibited from
entering designated smoking areas and
purchasing cigarettes.
There are stiff penalties associated
with anti-smoking legislation in South
Africa, including hefty fines for both the
smoker and venue operator. Be aware
that smoking is banned on all domestic
flights in South Africa. Keep a look out
for ‘no smoking’ signs and only smoke in
designated smoking areas.
