Smokefree legislation
Virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces in England are smoke free.
This means that it is against the law to smoke in the indoor parts of places such as pubs, bars, nightclubs, cafes and restaurants, lunchrooms, membership clubs and shopping centres. At work, smoking inside is now a thing of the past, and indoor smoking rooms is not allowed. Public transport and work vehicles used by more than one person must also be smoke free.
Second hand smoke is bad for health because it is a recognised carcinogen, which means that it is known to cause cancer in humans. Second hand smoke can significantly increase a non-smokers likelihood of getting lung cancer or heart disease. And, because 85% of second hand smoke is invisible and odourless, even though you think your workplace, pub or club is not a particularly smoky place you may be at more harm than you realise.
