A healthier England from July 1st 2007

On July 1st 2007, England introduced a new law to make virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces in England smokefree. A smokefree England ensures a healthier environment, so everyone can socialise, relax, travel, shop and work free from secondhand smoke.

This website provides you with information about the legislation and lets you know how you can play an important part in maintaining a smokefree England.
Members of the public who wish to report a breach of the new law should call 0800 587 1667.
