Keir Starmer's government looking to extend smoking ban to pubs, clubs and other outdoor spaces
Sir Keir Starmer has admitted the government will “take decisions” on a potential outdoor smoking ban in an effort to curb preventable deaths and alleviate pressure on the NHS.
According to leaked proposals seen by The Sun newspaper, the government is set to bring in a ban on smoking in some outdoor areas to improve public health.
Hospitality bosses have warned that proposed plans that could see the banning of smoking in beer gardens and outside stadiums, would be another “nail in the coffin” for pubs and bars.
