In 2012, the Macau government passed a law that banned smoking in most indoor public places. Casinos were offered some exemption from the new law, with up to 50% of their gaming floor space allowed to be designated smoking zones. However, this law was changed again in 2014, with smoking banned completely from all main gaming floor areas. The exceptions are VIP areas and smoking lounges, where smoking is currently allowed. In July 2017, Macau’s Legislative Assembly passed a new law that will require all casinos to install smoking lounges in VIP areas by 1 January 2019, when smoking will be banned from all areas that have gaming tables or electronic gaming machines. These smoking lounges will also have to meet strict technical criteria, including the use of a negative pressure system, a single entrance with automated sliding doors and an alarm that sounds a warning if the doors remain open for more than one minute.
