The law prohibits smoking in all enclosed workplaces, with the exception of hotel guestrooms. The law provides for one limited exemption (for hotel guestrooms) to a complete indoor public place and workplace smoking ban.

FCTC Art. 8 Guidelines para. 24 provides that Parties have a continuous obligation to remove any exemptions as soon as possible, and each Party should strive to provide universal protection within five years of the WHO Framework Convention’s entry into force for that Party.

The law prohibits smoking in all indoor public places; however, a limited exception is provided that allows the owner to allow smoking in a hotel guest room. Although guest rooms are not public places, permitting smoking in some guest rooms will result in exposure to tobacco smoke in other areas of the hotel, including public areas. Therefore, the regulatory status code “Smoking is Restricted” is given rather than “100% Smoke Free.”
