Smoke Free Coventry

The smoking ban in pubs and restaurants comes into force in Wales today. Coventry will become smoke free for 1st July.

People shouldn't have to work where they are constantly exposed to carcinogens and carbon monoxide, through secondhand smoke.

What's more, polishing my crystal ball, it's going to be popular.

The Office of National Statistics did a survey in autumn 2005 on the move to smoke-free. They found that 22% of pub goers said they would go more often if smoking restrictions were in
place. Only 4% of pub goers would go less often. Personally, I'm going to go more to the Nursery Tavern in Chapelfields.

Going smoke free has become more popular in other countries after introduction. A year after Ireland's introduction of a smoke-free law, 98% surveyed in Ireland believed that workplaces were healthier because of the smoke-free law, including 94% of smokers. The same rise occured in New York and New Zealand.
