The legislation states that in order to comply with the ban, The business Owner / CEO must Take “all reasonable steps to ensure that no one smokes on the premises.”

Under the new legislation, the proposed penalties are:

Person smoking on premises£50-00 fixed Penalty
Business OwnerUp to £2,500 fine
Failure to display No smoking Signs£1,000 fine

Providing they [building owners] can show they spoke to the individual and said ‘excuse me, smoking by law is not allowed here, please put your cigarette out,’ then they would have taken all reasonable steps.” Steve Harvey—Public Health.

Installing Cig-Arrête® can prove you took all ‘reasonable steps.’ - especially in areas that are difficult to supervise such as toilets and hidden areas. It also provides a non-confrontational way of communicating with the smoker— human intervention is not needed.

The Cig-Arrête® tobacco Control and detection system involves individual units which can be mains or battery operated. The units can detect small concentrations of tobacco smoke or the flame from a match or lighter and sound a pre-recorded voice message alerting smokers to the fact that they are in a no smoking area and to extinguish their cigarette.
Highly sensitive, the units have been used in hundreds of schools. Hospitals and workplaces.

When smoking bans were introduced in Scotland and Ireland many business owners faced problems monitoring their toilets and other hidden areas. By installing Cig-Arrête® they were able to monitor these areas 100% of the time and protect themselves from prosecution.

These low cost units can even be used outside—weatherproof versions are available and can cover building entrances and exit points that are subject to rapid ventilation.

The messaging capability of these products provides an audible reinforcement of a company’s commitment to the smoking ban and can be an invaluable tool should action ever be taken against an organisation or individual business owner.

Products that can enable you to go smoke free:
Cig-Arrête® FDV - Flame Detector with voice SpeechPOD voice messaging unit

For as little as £100 you could avoid a fine of £2,500

Remove the need for human confrontation - the voice messaging capability of the units communicates with the smoker.
