Tag: Smoke-Free

Smoke-free bars and pubs in London represent a breath of fresh air in more ways than one! Following the sweeping 2007 legislation, which banned smoking in indoor public places across the UK, our beloved pubs and bars have been transformed into healthier, more welcoming spaces for everyone.

This change was not just about clearing the air; it’s been a real game-changer for public health. Since the ban, there’s been a noticeable drop in smoking rates, with a striking 1.9 million fewer smokers in Britain compared to 2007. This is especially impressive among the youth, where smoking rates plummeted from 26% to 17% for those aged 16 to 24. Not only are fewer people lighting up, but we’re also seeing a significant decrease in passive smoking – a win-win for all pub-goers and staff alike! Remember those days when a night out meant coming home smelling like an ashtray? Well, no more! A whopping 67% of people now relish in their smoke-free clothes post-pub visit, and let’s not forget the positive impact on our hair too.

But it’s not just about looking and smelling better. The smoke-free environment has made pubs more family-friendly, opening the doors to those who previously might have stayed away. And here’s something to toast to: many ex-smokers have found the smoke-free atmosphere has helped them quit or cut down on smoking. Cheers to that! So, whether you’re out for a quiet pint, a lively night, or a family meal, our smoke-free pubs and bars are here to ensure everyone can breathe easy and enjoy their time to the fullest​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.
