Making sense of slimming

Over the past year, the whole nation has heard about the government’s plans create smoke free public places and workplaces.

Scotland has been smoke free since 26 March 2006. Wales joined in the party on 2 April and Northern Ireland went smoke free on 30 April. Finally, England will go smoke free on 1 July.

If you’re in charge of premises or vehicles covered by the new law you will have a legal responsibility to ensure they become smoke free.

If you’re a smoker, could the countdown to the new law be a perfect time for you to halt the habit for good?
