From 1st July 2007, virtually all enclosed public spaces and work places in England are subject to Smoke Free Legislation. Virtually all workplaces used by more than one person are effected.  Indoor work place smoking rooms are no longer allowed. Anyone wanting to smoke will have to go outside.

The law applies to anything that can be smoked. This includes cigarettes, pipes (including water pipes such as shisha and hookah pipes), cigars and herbal cigarettes.

Managers of smokefree premises and vehicles  have legal responsibilities to prevent smoking and to ensure that no smoking signs are displayed as required by the new law. For more information on the  smokefree law go to http://www.smokefreeengland.co.uk/files/everything_u_need_new_sf_law_accessible.pdf. To find out what you need to do to comply with the smoke free legislation and to download resources, go to the Smokefree England website. Alternatively, telephone the free helpline on 0800 169 1697
