The use of electronic cigarettes in public places
The use of electronic cigarettes, whether they contain nicotine or not, is not against the law under the Smoke-free Environment Act 2000 (NSW). This means it is not against this law to use them in indoor and outdoor public places where it is against the law to smoke. This does not prevent individual establishments and workplaces from developing their own policies to ban patrons and staff using electronic cigarettes on their premises.
