Smoking

Question
(2) what penalties the Government are planning to implement to enforce a future ban on smoking in public places.
Answer

We have launched a consultation on the smoke-free elements of the Health Improvement and Protection Bill. This includes proposals for offences and penalties. It also invites views on the proposals to exempt licensed premises, which do not prepare and serve food. We will be discussing the details of the proposals with key stakeholders during this time.A copy of the consultation paper is available in the Library.
