Smoking Ban in England

Robin McKie believes that smoking is not only harmful to individuals but also harmful to society as a whole. His main argument is reference and data from medical reports that smoking causes heart attacks, some forms of cancer, dyspnea, and often health loss. The situation of smokers and the surrounding people seems to be very serious, but there are some precautions that can solve the problems caused by smoking. For example, in this regard, mandatory indoor smoking restriction seems to be very effective.

The ban on smoking in England prohibits smoking in all closed England 's public places and closed workplaces since 1 July 2007. On 26th March 2006, other parts of the UK - Scotland, Wales imposed similar ban on April 2, 2007, Northern Ireland, 30th April 2007. Soft drinks, juice drinks and mineral water grew steadily. All three categories are usually eaten with food and the introduction of smoking ban indicates that the increase in food related to additional consumption of soft drinks is present and in the future.

On March 26, 2006, Andy Kerr, then Minister of Health and Social Welfare, introduced the ban on smoking in public places in Scotland. Smoking was prohibited in all public places in the UK when the UK became the final region where the law came into force in 2007 (the age of purchase from 16 years old on October 1, 2007 to 18 years old The limit was also raised). On July 12, 1999, the District Court in Kerala State High Court in India declared that "public smoking is illegal in violation of Article 21 of the Constitution and is the world's first illegal act" Ban smoking is prohibited.

In the month before the ban on smoking in Britain, as many as 200 landlords were planning a day of contempt. They also threatened to violate the law on the first day of the July 1 ban. The government admits that the ban is cost 1.6 billion pounds, but its benefit is a net asset of £ 2.1 billion, which is good for the country (Lusher, Goslett: 2007).
