In accordance with the Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance (Cap. 371), indoor areas of all restaurant premises, shops, shopping malls and bars are designated as no smoking areas. Please click here for details.

If there is any smoking offence in the venue under your management, you can:

  1. Request the smoker to extinguish the lit cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
  2. If the person is uncooperative, you may ask them to leave the no-smoking area, or request their name, address, and to produce proof of identity. If an offender is ejected from a no-smoking area, they have no right to request a refund of any admission fee paid.
  3. If the person still refuses to cooperate, you may summon police assistance.
