The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) operates a smoke-free policy on all MoJ controlled premises, except for open prisons and Immigration Control Centres (IRCs), where detainees can smoke in designated open-air smoking areas. The Health Act 2006 prohibits smoking in the workplace or public enclosed space with a regulatory exemption applied to prisons or places where people may be detained.
