Is it just SKYCITY that we can no longer smoke at?No, it is now against the law to smoke in all enclosed spaces in hospitality venues throughout New Zealand. So this change is affecting a large number of venues throughout the country, not just SKYCITY.
Will customers be able to smoke anywhere inside SKYCITY?The only place that guests are able to smoke indoors will be in the guest rooms at SKYCITY Hotel and SKYCITY Grand Hotel that are designated to allow smoking. Customers cannot smoke indoors anywhere else.

What if the weather's bad - do people still have to go outside to smoke?Unfortunately there is no alternative if customers wish to smoke. Depending on weather conditions, customers who smoke should be able to find a deck which is relatively sheltered to take a smoking break.
