Should the United Kingdom's smoking ban be reversed?
Yes 0%No 100%4 votes cast
The UK smoking ban, enacted in 2007 under the Health Act, prohibits smoking in enclosed public spaces and workplaces to protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke. Smoking prevalence has fallen from 22% in 2007 to around 12% today, reducing related NHS costs estimated at £2.6 billion annually while contributing £10 billion in tobacco taxes. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage pledges to repeal it and the new Tobacco and Vapes Bill, citing threats to pubs, personal freedoms, and black market risks, amid debates on enforcement and libertarian principles.
