What is a Smoking Permit in Dubai?
A Smoking Permit is the Dubai authorities' approval to provide a designated smoking area in your premises. It also ensures that the smoking area meets the Municipality’s healthcare and environmental regulations in terms of smoke ventilation systems, air quality, and other smoking area safety measures.
This permit regulates the zones where smoking is allowed at public places, taking into account the comfort, safety, and hygiene of staff members and of guests.

When is a Smoke Permit Required?
This permit is mandatory for restaurants, cafés, lounges, shisha outlets, hotels, and other entertainment spaces that wish to create a designated smoking zone. This permit is also required when a new smoking zone is created, there is a change to the existing smoking zone’s air handling systems, or when a designated non-smoking zone is converted to a smoking zone.
Any outlet wishing to provide shisha or wishing to provide indoor smoking should first obtain this permit prior to commencement.
