Smoke & Vape Free Areas
Smoke-free and vape-free areas in our City.
The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters is committed to supporting a healthy, safe and enjoyable environment for everyone using our public spaces.
Smoke-free and vape-free areas help reduce exposure to second-hand smoke and vapour and improve the comfort of our parks, events and community facilities.
These restrictions are supported by the Tobacco and E-Cigarette Products Act 1997 (SA). For more information about smoke-free and vape-free laws in South Australia, visit SA Health
