individual rights and freedoms stop when you are harming others.

As an asthmatic this makes public spaces far more accessible to me

as an ex smoker I was always mortified at how inconsiderate other smokers were. at the bear minimum you make sure you're not in a crowded place and ask whoever you're with if they're okay with it smh

I agree, but I do question the wisdom of this being their first big thing over dealing with the sewage in the water - purely from an optics perspective, it feels tone deaf

people love to say "should they ban drinking too then", and I'm just like "people drinking near me has no effect on my health, whereas people smoking near me is harmful to me" 🙄

Personal freedoms only really encompass the private sphere. If you’re in a public place, you’ve had a responsibility to the public good

I 100% agree less places able to smoke or AT LEAST more secluded areare were it's away from dence areas is grate. the only thing is pubs are THE place for smokers so I think they can atlest have that

sure it's a lovely idea... if we weren't already in a cost of living crisis that makes people consider whether or not they really wanna go out or just buy from Tesco and have some mates round

I’m honestly shocked that this isn’t the common belief? I’ve seen so many people mad at this ban and I just don’t understand.

it's going to be pretty tough to enforce. will there be a perimeter around pubs you can't smoke in? will pubs be fined if they don't send staff across the road to stop people smoking there?

It’s already unappealing and unattractive. Making it harder for people to smoke will just cause more underground, more laced and worse products. They need to tackle WHY people smoke, not that they do.

I'm an ex smoker but why can't there be smoking rooms? like in airports, they have extractor fans & fresh air being pumped in if they're not outside.they take the taxes for them no prob n pull this?

My main thing is secondhand smoke. You’re playing cancer roulette with your health and that’s your right! But it’s not your right to make me play cancer roulette too

It seems to be a sensible solution until you realise how many people are dependent on smoking as a self regulating method/ self soothing method or as a stimulant. Introducing this law would then cut..

I distinctly remember the day the original smoking ban was put in places and people insisted the pub industry would die off just like they are now 💀😂 I love that they're doing this, I have asthma

I only worry about it from a pub industry position & how it will affect an already struggling area, but people felt the same when they banned smoking indoors & that worked out so probably ungrounded.

been a real eye opener watching 'left wing' people dismiss the health and safety of hospitality workers who inhale then 2nd hand smoke in their workplace as a non issue.

The fact that they're calling the UK a dictatorship because they're being asked to think about other people.... Insane. I'm all for smoking being eradicated completely

it’s already so difficult to smoke — I’d understand banning it in playgrounds etc. but pubs and outside nightclubs? What does the government think people do?

People talking about freedom completely ignore disabled people. I knew someone who had a Lung disease and would have a severe reaction to people smoking in her vicinity.

I agree with the pub but like in clubs with smoking areas, there’s literally no other need to go out into those areas unlike in pub gardens, I reckon they should be kept

My only thing is, where are people going to smoke instead? I’m a smoker, most of my friends are, if we congregate outside a pub to smoke, won’t that also have negative effects?

Who's going to enforce it tho? bc as a bartender I have enough to do without arguing with some drunk person about smoking in the beer garden. And what about vapeing?

I wouldn't even mind people smoking in public so much if they just asked first, the amount of times I've been somewhere then someone stops next to me and starts smoking

Principle and practice are two different things though, countries such as Bhutan have implemented similar legislation, and the problem got worse. I don't have faith this will be enforced 1/2

I was a smoker and now I'm pregnant and obviously not smoking I've really noticed how difficult it is to avoid breathing in second hand smoke. I don't think smokers realise just how invasive it is

Having the freedom to do what you want and the freedom to do what you want wherever you want are not the same. People need to not be so selfish and think about the harm they could be doing to others

I think people felt the same way when pubs had smoking/non smoking areas inside but now it’s non smoking only indoors, now it’s normal. Not smoking in beer gardens will be normal soon too I think

The absolute passion in which smokers have blown up over this is so bizarre to me. Like.. maybe we need to take a pause and re-evaluate a little if this is really riling you up.

Same girl smoking is soooo gross n ugly. Like there are literally 0 benefits to smoking, the only reason smoking isnt banned is cus the government makes too much money from it.
