Thatdevelopment was Oxfordshire County Council's consideration of asmoking ban for outdoor hospitality, as it seeks to become"smoke-free" by 2025.
It isintended that as part of the plans, employers will be encouraged topromote smoke-free environments and support their personnel in theirefforts to quit. NHS trusts in the area will also be smoke-free,while encouraging smokers that use, visit or work in the healthservice to kick the habit.
It'snot just Oxfordshire where major moves are being made against smoking
Ascommendable as we feel Oxfordshire County Council's efforts are as itaims to be the first English county to reach smoke-free status, otherareas are also taking seriously the Government's 2030 smoke-freepledge.
TheSun reported that Hammersmith & Fulham in West London was alsoexpected to become smoke-free by 2025 - five years ahead of theGovernment's target - thanks to an annual smoking quit rate in theborough of 7.54%, according to Public Health England (PHE) data.That's an especially impressive feat, given that the districtreportedly had one of the highest smoking rates of any part of Londonas recently as 2016.
Westminsterwas the next borough set to hit the smoke-free target, the newspapersaid, the 5.47% of smokers who quit in the area every year meaning itwould achieve this in 2028. Rounding out the top five were the Wirraland Sefton, which both have quit rates of nearly 5% - enough to putthem on track to hit the smoke-free target in 2029.
