As far as I remember from when I worked at Hyndburn BC before my retirement, no smoking was allowed even on outdoor sites belonging to the Council. Also, no-one could smoke in a Council van, even if it was parked in a remote location. I also seem to remember that if a Council employee, e.g. Environmental Health Officer, had an appointment to visit a resident in their home, the letter to the resident advising of the appointment would state that no-one was to smoke in the house while the Council Officer was present. I've a feeling it also specified a short time period before the Officer's arrival, perhaps half an hour, when there was to be no smoking in the house. Council employees were also offered smoking cessation classes, I think at Accy Vic, if they wanted to try and give up smoking.
