Smoking bans in the United Kingdom
Sales of cigarettes and smoking in the UK are being gradually restricted during the first few decades of the 21st century. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill, to ban sales of cigarettes to people born after 2008, is being debated in parliament in 2025.
A smoking ban in England, making it illegal to smoke in all enclosed workplaces in England, came into force in July 2007 as a consequence of the Health Act 2006. Similar bans had already been introduced by the rest of the United Kingdom: in Scotland in March 2006, Wales in April 2007 and Northern Ireland in April 2007. Plain tobacco packaging[1] and a smoking ban in cars with passengers under 18 were introduced under Children and Families Act 2014.[2]
