Quit Smoking - What Do You Think About the New UK Smoking Ban?

A controversial new law in the UK, especially in England, will take place from the summer of 2007. The new law completely banned smoking in all public places and in fact follows the ban passed in Wales and Scotland. The smoking ban has been imposed in countries like the U.S., Spain and Ireland. The vote to approve a new law actually took place in February 2006 and has received much attention since then.
It is expected that legislation against snuff affects businesses whose customers are smokers. The places that will be affected by the new law are public and indoor workplaces virtually closed. Many people are concerned about the general economic effects arising from the prohibition. But in general, many experts believe that the smoking ban will have little impact on the economy of the nation.
Nearly 75 percent of UK residents are non-smoking and businesses will really benefit from the new law than non smokers now you get to put previously frequented by smokers. On the other hand, companies such as bars and clubs will be most affected. For each violation of the smoking ban law, owners will be fined 2500 pounds and also also are afraid that they will lose customers if they ask their patrons to smoke outside. Samples are also necessary in these places no smoking and the lack of a finer screen means.
All smokers can still smoke outside as the area is not closed and is considered private, such as nursing homes, hotels, and even in their own homes. If you are caught smoking in places included in the ban, these smokers will be fined 50 pounds.
And do not stop there. The British Government considers that the imposition of the smoking ban in the first of July is just the beginning. They also hope to target parents who smoke in front of their children, even if they are at home. The government also aims to reduce the number of smokers twenty-five percent to five percent.
hotel advocates, meanwhile, see the new law as a violation of their civil rights and could cause lack of productivity in the workforce, employees now go to places smokers can smoke. .........
