KHT Smoke Free

On 1st July 2007 it becomes law in England that buildings open to the public, workplaces and work vehicles are smoke-free.

It will be an offence to smoke tobacco or any other substance, or simply to have for instance a lit cigarette in any smoke-free place. Local Authority Officers will be empowered to serve “on the spot” fixed penalty notices of £50 or on summary conviction, courts can fine you £200.

KHT are working towards having a new smoke-free policy in place for 1st July, we will keep you informed.

As private dwellings won’t be covered by the smoke-free law, KHT will be asking customers to help protect our employees by taking the simple steps of not smoking during the visit and ventilating the room.
