    To answer your question CharlieBoots, the current laws and regulations haven’t changed.

    I agree with everything else Scottie said apart from the above (kind of …).  Not exactly on point, I know, but the Environmental Health laws were changed in January making it illegal for people to smoke outside the entrances to apartment blocks.

    Back to this question, as Scottie said, by-laws are the answer and if too many object, point out that if you had a smoking ban and tried to rescind it, you would probably fall foul of the ACt that doesn’t allow you to pass by-laws that contradict provisions of the Act (such as the right to peaceful enjoyment  and freedom from nuisance).
