Smoking Ban Signage

England went smoke free on 1st July 2007 when The Smoke-free (Signs) Regulations 2007 law came into force. The ban covers virtually all enclosed public places including offices, pubs, bars, and factories. Businesses will have to display prominent 'no smoking' signs around their premises.
The law is intended to protect people from second-hand smoke, while making it easier for smokers to quit. The scientific and medical evidence clearly shows that second-hand smoke kills, causing a range of serious medical conditions including lung cancer, heart disease, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This new legislation will help prevent the unnecessary deaths caused every year from second-hand smoke, and recognizes that there is absolutely no safe level of exposure.
The new legislation requires businesses in smoke-free premises to display prominent no-smoking signs using the no smoking symbol and wording along the lines of, 'No smoking. It is against the law to smoke in these premises.'
