When was smoking banned in NSW licensed venues?
Smoking was banned in all enclosed public places, including enclosed public areas of licensed venues as of 2 July 2007. This means: • All indoor areas of hotels, clubs and nightclubs that are open to the general public must be completely non-smoking. • All areas of Star City Casino with the exception of private gaming rooms must also be non-smoking.* • There are no other exceptions. * Smoking will be permitted in the private gaming areas at Star City Casino, not including areas used substantially for gaming machines. This exception will be reviewed every 12 months to maintain parity with interstate casinos and will be reported to the NSW Parliament.
