UK government plans propose extending smoking ban to outdoor spaces.
Leaked UK government plans suggest a potential extension of the smoking ban to include outdoor spaces such as pub gardens, outdoor restaurants, sports grounds, and parks in an effort to reduce second-hand smoke exposure and phase out tobacco. The Labour Party is considering these measures as part of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, which aims to make Britain smoke-free by 2030. The proposals have caused debate within the government, with some expressing concerns about the impact on pubs and restaurants, while others point to the financial and health costs of smoking.
