Make it illegal to smoke in all public places in the UK.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Smoking in places where others are present should be stopped by introducing No Smoking Legislation and creating Smoke Free Zones.
These areas should include Parks, Sports Grounds, Shopping Centers and Retail Parks, Public Houses and Restaurant Gardens and Public Footpaths, Beaches and Promenades.

There is overwhelming evidence of the damaging effects smoking has on all of us. All adults, children and the elderly are effected by secondary or passive smoking. There are numerous articles, reports and recommendations released by leading specialists in this field.Government need to act sooner rather than latter on this extremely important issue. It affects each and everyone of us and shortens life, ruins peoples health and is totally unacceptable for the vast majority of our UK citizens.
