Smoke-Free Consultation Process Begins The Governments plans for Smoke-Free workplaces is out for consultation until 9th October 2006. Part of the new Health Bill currently going through Parliament, the proposals are available to download from the Dept of Health website. The proposed smokefree regulations will see smoking banned in workplaces and other public places in England next year. Commenting further he said,"But we hope that employers whose workplaces are not yet smoke-free will not wait until next summer before banning smoking. Employers should be working with unions and staff over the coming months to make sure that a smoke-free environment is introduced gradually with the full support and involvement of the workforce."
