Smoking Ban


Schoolchildren are interviewed over smoking and whether they like the habit or not. They are also asked if they are pressured by their school not to smoke following moves by public health authorities to encourage young people not to smoke. This report is in response to new legislation for 1971 requiring health warnings on cigarette packets “WARNING by H.M. Government, SMOKING CAN DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH”. E-cigs come under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations of 2016.
