Smoking and vaping will be banned in more outdoor public spaces under proposed new laws, while smokers will be offered incentives to quit as the South Australian government seeks to cut down on tobacco use.

The state government said the proposed laws would extend smoking and vaping bans to areas near schools, shopping centres, beaches, buildings and sporting grounds.
