Council banning smoking indoors uk

this obviously only pertains to council properties whether you rent or buy. (Which I guess is within their right technically)

Just heard its a go ahead and there are already 3 petitions against it.

No coincidence its happening so soon after the legalisation of medical cannabis.

I don't smoke but cant help but but feel this is a another big L for us.

What's a "big L"?

I guess local authorities are just doing what private landlords already do, and making it a condition of the lease that the property is smoke-free.

It can be an issue for social workers, health visitors etc when making home call-outs and entering the fog of smokers in their home.

It’s not becoming law as I read it, just a recommendation. And already if you’re having work done you can’t smoke when the workmen are in your property x

Given the damage that smoke does to the property, it's shocking that this isn't already the policy!

L is just a loss for us however

You make a very good point. I'm not against the new legislation, its just the idea of government stripping away more freedom. Well we've rolled over this long, why stop now?

I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s just another preventative against house fires. Granted they’re very rarely started by smokers but anything is better than nothing.

You're right, what they should do is give you a choice between a rent that includes repairing the damage when you move out and a rent that doesn't.

my mrs smokes occasionally but she has always gone in the back garden, years ago growing up, both my parents smoked in the house, my clothes always smelt of it, and when you took a picture off the wall the staining the smoke done was revealed

I think pushing smokers outside has been one of the most progressive things that's happened in recent years. And I smoke.

How can it apply if you've bought it?

I think it's a good idea, it applies in most privately rented properties.

I guess In a built up area they're implying but honestly it all sounds very messy to me. There will be no shortage of inconsistencies and misunderstandings

I can't find exact figures, but this is quite alarming.

Fires caused by smoking are the most dangerous, according to the fire service. It says 50% of deaths in house fires since 2009 were caused by “smoking materials”.

I suppose if it's a leasehold flat it could apply

It's not the nicotine that causes yellowing, it's the tar that's produced by burning the tobacco vegetable matter. Nicotine is odourless, colourless and not particularly harmful. You can vape indoors without fear of yellowing

Everyone I know who smokes in rented properties goes outside and does their own decorating.

It will only ever apply to people who don't own their properties because there will be no way of policing it.

So, if you can afford to buy, you can poison your kids with cigarette smoke.
