Smoking is prohibited in all public buildings in Belgium, including inside university buildings, student accommodation, bars and restaurants (there may be separate smoking areas under certain conditions), as well as in shopping centers, public transport and cabs.

In short, smoking is only possible outdoors. Smoking in a public place that is not outdoors is a criminal offence subject to penalties. UNamur is working to enforce this law.
