In a significant move to curb smoking-related health risks, the UK government is reportedly set to ban smoking in several public areas, including pub gardens, children’s parks, and outside sports stadiums. As reported by The Sun, leaked plans indicate that smokers might not be allowed to light a cigarette in nightclubs, restaurant terraces, and pavements adjacent to universities and hospitals, as well as in shisha bars. Notably, private homes and large open spaces like parks and streets will remain exempt from these restrictions. This development follows concerns about the detrimental effects of second-hand smoke, which were not addressed in the initial Bill.
