nickala17 Posted September 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I heard that a new smoking law was passed in Grand Turk. Are you allowed to smoke at the beach or at the pool in Margaritaville? What about at Jack's Shack? Are there smoking areas? Thanks for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted September 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Directly from Gov.tc website states: "In order to comply with the law the public should be mindful of the following: "Do not smoke in an enclosed public place, enclosed workplace, or public conveyance, including places listed below: 1. Government buildings 2. Hospitals and medical facilities 3. Airports 4. Hotels, motels, inns (with the exception of areas for smoking, 15 to 25 ft. radius) 5. Reception rooms, lobbies or areas where the public have access 6. Public owned facilities rented out for events 7. Meetings and interview rooms 8. Corridors, toilet areas, stairways and elevators 9. Public lounges and canteen areas 10. Bars 11. Clubs 12. Restaurants 13. Pool halls 14. Schools 15. Government vehicles 16. Vehicles used for public transport 17. Areas designated for public transportation 18. Shops and shopping centres 19. Cinemas 20. Public parks 21. Sporting complexes such as stadiums, ballparks, basketball courts etc. 22. Workplace facilities 23. A public places where tables and chairs are provided for customers to consume food purchased from an on-site service 24. Any other facilities that are accessible to the public. A manager, owner or lessee of a place listed above must post signs prominently on the premises or public conveyance, stating that smoking is not permitted in that place or public conveyance. The laws will be enforced by Public and Environmental Health officers, Customs officers and Police officers who will have the power to enter any public place in which tobacco products are sold, manufactured, stored, transported, received, distributed or supplied and conduct inspections or investigations. This would mean that under any building or covered area you can't smoke. Nor near where food is served. There should be signs where smoking is allowed or not allowed. But basically be out in th eopen and away from others....Just like at work, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
