Oxfordshire considering smoking ban for outdoor hospitality seating
Oxfordshire is considering a smoking ban for outdoor hospitality as part of plans to become the first smoke-free county by 2025.
The plans will see employers encouraged to promote smoke-free environments and support staff to quit smoking.
Local NHS trusts will be smoke-free while encouraging smokers using, visiting or working in the NHS to quit.
Local organisations working across the community will be supported to promote smoke-free environments including homes, cars, play parks and school gates.
An Oxfordshire County Council spokeswoman said: “Oxfordshire has set itself an ambitious aim to be smoke-free by 2025. Creating healthy, smoke-free environments – including considering proposals for hospitality outdoor seating to be 100% smoke-free – is just one small part of a wider range of county-wide plans.
“At present there are no timeframes for smoke-free pavement licensing proposals and nothing has yet been agreed. Any decision on this would be ultimately the responsibility of our individual district councils in Oxfordshire.
