Danish smoking rules are tightened following an amendment of the Danish Anti-Smoking Act with effect from 15 August 2012.
The Danish Parliament recently passed a Bill to amend the Anti-Smoking Act from 2007, tightening the rules for smoking in public spaces. Employers will still be allowed to provide employees with smoking rooms and cubicles but, under the new Act, signs must be put up to show that those are designated smoking areas. The signs must also say that the air around smoking rooms and cubicles may be hazardous to health.
The Anti-Smoking Act used to allow employees to smoke in single-person offices. After the amendment takes effect, however, this will no longer be allowed. In future, smoking will only be allowed in cranes, company cars and other commercial vehicles used by a single person.
