The National Council Against Smoking says it has received positive feedback from the public about the new anti-smoking laws.

Parts of the Tobacco Products Control Act came into effect six weeks ago.

One of them prohibits smoking in partially enclosed areas such as verandas, patios and balconies.

The council’s Peter Ucko said people have been accommodating.

"Acceptance of the new legislation has been amazing and popular beyond belief," said Ucko.
