Smoking in South Africa (whats the laws?)?

Question

Can someone let me know what the laws are with regards to smoking and public places in South Africa

Answer 1

South Africa adopted strict new regulations that ban tobacco advertising, limit smoking in the workplace and force bars and restaurants to build walled-off smoking sections.

Under the regulations, employers must protect their workers from workplace exposure to tobacco smoke.

Bars, restaurants and hotels must forbid smoking except in designated, walled-off areas, where a health warning must be posted. Retailers who sell tobacco also must post a health warning.

Answer 2

bascially you cant unless theres a smoking sign saying you can. you can smoke outdoors almost anywhere but not inside malls or stores - unless it says otherwise.. most coffee shops and resturants have smoking sections here anyways

Answer 3

tobacco or weed

Answer 4

New legislation for smoking designed to tighten up current loop-holes is being planned in South Africa with a bill drafted by the Health Ministry looking to prohibit smoking outdoors within a prescribed distance from a window, ventilation outlet, doorway or entrance  to a public place.
