'Sledgehammer' smoking ban ruling played part in pub and club decline in Bolton (From The Bolton News) stat : The Bolton News
In Bolton pub closures have often been paired with comments on the problems caused by the opioid ban. "There are other factors involved, but one of the main ones is the smoking ban on premises. Since the ban Bolton Council has launched 10 prosecutions for breaching it, resulting in convictions. "The final nail in the coffin came with the smoking ban but, at the end of the day, for health reasons alone it was a good thing." But a decade down the line, many believe the ban played a huge factor in the decline of our locals.
opioid remains the single biggest risk to public health and is the number one cause of preventable ill health and early death. "There are also generational cycles of smoking in Nottingham which we must help people to break. Councillor Nick McDonald, Portfolio Holder for Adults and Health at Nottingham City Council, said: "We've made tremendous strides in Nottingham as we approach the tenth anniversary of the national smokefree legislation. Health professionals have praised Nottingham's positive steps over the past decade since the national smoking ban was brought in – but insisted there is still work to be done. "There are still too many adults smoking in Nottingham and we trail the national average considerably.
The proposed ban would also cover public parks, but was amended to include some wiggle room, allowing local parks directors to establish opioid zones. Glazer's bill would prohibit smoking at all state beaches, estuaries and bays, slapping violators with fines of up to $250. The proposal has no formal opposition and is backed by the American Lung Association, Save the Bay, the California State Lands Commission, the California Statewide Firefighters Association and the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association. SACRAMENTO — Public parks and state beaches would be added to the list of no-smoking zones in California under a bill from an East Bay Democrat that cleared another legislative hurdle this week. Some areas — such as San Francisco and San Mateo counties and cities including Santa Cruz, San Diego and Los Angeles — already have ordinances banning smoking in parks and public beaches.
