What do you already know about the smoking ban?

The Ban! It is against the law to smoke in most enclosed public places and workplaces. That includes pubs, bars, restaurants, even shopping centres. Public transport and work vehicles used by more than one person must be smokefree at all times. No-smoking signs must be displayed in all smokefree premises and vehicles. Staff smoking rooms and indoor smoking areas are no longer allowed, so anyone who wants to smoke has to go outside.

Failure to display no-smoking signs: £200 fine imposed on whoever manages or occupies the smokefree premises or vehicle. Or a maximum fine of £1000 if taken to court.
