‘Shop a smoker’ hotline
To ensure people comply with the smoking ban, the government plans to introduce a “shop-a-smoker” hotline next summer. People will be able to report others not obiding by the ban, giving their names and the venue where thay were seen smoking.
Smoker’s lobby group Forest said, “People won’t use the phone line…It is not the British way”. Legislation to ban smoking from all public places, including pubs and restaurants will come into force from summer 2007.
