    Over here it's a no.

    Also. No one is allowed to smoke on local government property. all who work in LG are not allowed to work in working hours. If they are caught smoking on LG property (in or out) they get the sack.

    Got family who work at Armley and they've said they are allowed to smoke in cells but not on the landings.

    In which case

    Those prison officers would be within their rights to refuse to enter a cell where an inmate had been smoking ?

    The reason I ask is over that animal who has been jailed for 28 yrs for killling the fella who told him to stop smoking in a bar. I wondered whether he would be able to light up in jail

    You can smoke on a film set if instructed to by the director and it is part of the show.

    I know they can, I've seen it

    I'm asking how they get around the law.
