Smokefree Workplaces

On 1 July 2007, virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces in England will become smokefree.  From then on, smoking in these places will be a thing of the past and against the law.  The new smokefree law is being introduced to protect everyone from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. 

 

Which places will be smokefree?

The new smokefree law will cover virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces.  These include pubs, clubs, bars, cafes, shops, offices and factories.  Staff smoking rooms and indoor smoking areas will no longer be allowed, so anyone who wants to smoke will have to go outside.  Public transport and work vehicles used by more than one person at any time will also need to be smokefree.
