Smoke free in England

A ban on smoking in enclosed public places, including workplaces, came into force in England on Sunday 1 July 2007. The new law is designed to protect workers and the general public from the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. Exposure to second-hand smoke increases the risk of lung cancer and heart disease - just 30 minutes exposure is enough to reduce coronary blood flow. Second-hand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals. Over 50 are known to cause cancer.
Smoking is now illegal within public places and workplaces if these are wholly or substantially enclosed, including rooms previously set-aside as "smoking rooms".The new law affects the majority of public premises including workplaces and work vehicles, and applies to staff, customers and visitors. It is the legal responsibility of anyone who controls or manages smoke free premises and vehicles to prevent people from smoking in them.
