Smoking Ban England

On the 1st July 2007 smoking is banned in public places in England. All indoor public places and enclosed spaces are affected and will display the relevant no smoking signs.

Reasons For Banning Smoking in Public Places

The smokefree law is being introduced in England to protect the public from the hazardous side effects of secondhand smoke.
Secondhand smoking (passive smoking) is a health hazard, and has been proved to cause serious illness in some of those affected. Each time a breath of secondhand smoke is taken in, over 4,000 chemicals enter the lungs. Many are highly toxic and over 50 are known to cause cancer.
As over 80% of secondhand smoke is both odourless and invisible most people are unaware they are even breathing it in, this puts most second hand smokers at even greater risk.

Stopping Smoking

Nearly 80% of smokers say they want to quit, the new no smoking bans in the UK should help give some of those smokers an extra incentive to stop smoking.
