The British Ministry of Health published the White Paper on Public Health in March, 25, and promised to gradually ban smoking in workplaces, restaurants and bars that can provide dining services in four years. In order to achieve this goal, the government first passed legislation to ban smoking. According to the bill passed by the British House of Commons, smoking will be banned in all public places in England from July 1 this year. Smokers in non-smoking areas will be fined 5 pounds; Places that do not post "No Smoking" signs will be fined 2 to 1, pounds; Business owners of non-smoking places will be fined up to 25 pounds if they don't stop smoking. Previously, Scotland and Northern Ireland had implemented smoking bans in March 26 and March this year. Secondly, strictly restrict and manage tobacco sales. At the beginning of 23, the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Restriction Act implemented in Britain stipulated that tobacco companies were prohibited from sponsoring various sports events in the form of trademarks. After June 26, all activities that directly or indirectly encourage the expansion of tobacco consumption, such as tobacco advertising and publicity, were completely banned, except introducing tobacco to buyers in tobacco trade. Third, the tobacco tax is constantly raised. After 1998, the tobacco tax in Britain increased by an average of 5% every year. At present, the taxes and fees levied by the British government on tobacco account for 8% of the tobacco price, ranking second in the world. Fourth, raise the legal age for buying cigarettes. On January 1 this year, the British government announced that it would raise the legal age of cigarette buyers in England and Wales from 16 to 18 in October this year to reduce the number of young smokers. Fifth, strengthen smoking cessation. Specific measures include: providing free counseling to those who intend to quit smoking and providing free smoking cessation drugs, cooperating with pharmaceutical companies to research and develop smoking cessation drugs, and providing free nicotine substitutes to smokers who intend to quit smoking but are addicted to cigarettes, especially pregnant women. Sixth, strengthen efforts to crack down on cigarette smuggling. Customs officers are free to inspect tobacco retail stores and have the right to sue dealers who sell smuggled cigarettes. At present, the anti-smoking action has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Britain. Polls show that nearly 9% of non-smokers support the smoking ban law; 99% of business owners said that they are ready for the implementation of the ban; About 4% smokers intend to quit smoking as soon as possible.
