As part of a tobacco endgame strategy, existing smoke-free regulations in enclosed public places are now being expanded in various places across the globe to also cover outdoor and private spaces, henceforth referred to as novel smoke-free policies.

The dataset constitutes a mapping of examples of novel smoke-free policies from around the globe on the basis of different types of smoke-free spaces.

The aspiration of the database is not to exhaustively list all the novel smoke-free policies around the globe but to demonstrate the significant, versatile and growing implementation of novel smoke-free policies worldwide.
