Smokefree England
July 1 2007 will always remain a historic day for public health in England. The Health Act, passed by Parliament in 2006, makes virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces smokefree. The new law will save thousands of lives over the next decade by reducing the amount of secondhand smoke people are exposed to in public places and workplaces.
