Smoking ban could also apply to your home

MUCH of the recent comments are on smoking in pubs. However, the effect of the ban is far more intrusive.

If you operate a business from home, it is a workplace and after January 1, you will, therefore, be are banned from smoking in your own home.

If you ask a plumber, electrician, cleaner doctor or nurse to visit, it is a workplace and to escape a potential fine and/or imprisonment, you will have to remove any ashtrays and put up a sign, stating that no smoking is allowed during the duration of their visit.
