Smokefree Legislation came into force on July 1st 2007.
The Health Act 2006 requires all work places, public places and
vehicles used for work to be Smokefree. The Act and its regulations
will ban smoking in enclosed and substantially enclosed public
places and workplaces, including vehicles, with some
exceptions.
There is widespread public support to eliminate smoking in
public places, including places of entertainment and
workplaces.
Officers of the City Council will continue to provide education
& advice to businesses once the legislation is in force.
Determined or blatant disregard for the law may be dealt with in
a more formal manner. Anyone wishing to report a breach of the new
legislation should contact The Food Health and Safety Team on
01228 817349.
