England is now smoke-free

A healthier High Peak and a healthier nation

England has become smoke-free since 6am Sunday 1 July 2007 - are you legal?

Virtually all enclosed public places and work places in England and the High Peak are now smoke-free. A smoke-free nation will ensure a healthier environment, so everyone can socialise, relax, travel, shop and work in an environment free from second-hand tobacco smoke.

What help will businesses get to make sure they are complying with the law?

The Government has been contacting every business in the country, since April 2007, to let you know about your responsibilities. You can download the latest information from www.smokefreeengland.co.uk (External website**).

Here are some useful links, which will provide further information for businesses and residents regarding the new law:
