Smoking policy – External areas - KBCN1680

The criteria do not require that the asset provide a designated external smoking area. The intent of Specific Note 1 is that the asset management encourage compliance with the no smoking policy by identifying areas where building users are not prohibited from smoking. However, where it is justified that no such areas can be identified within proximity of the asset, this requirement can be disregarded.
