  A bill to phase out smoking is working through the parliamentary process at the moment. It will introduce a progressive ban so those aged 15 when it passes will never legally smoke, licencing for the sale of tobacco and vape products, and the power to ban smoking near hospitals and schools.

    Banning near hospitals should be a good one. Beggars belief it’s not already a thing.

    When I’ve been, there’s a no smoking sign in front of the entrance and several patients stood in front of it looking like death having either a giant vape or chain smoking.

        It’s not enforced though. A recorded voice will come over the tannoy and say “no smoking, something something” and everyone carries on with their day.
