- The chief executive of the Night Time Industries Association has told Sky News that banning smoking in pub gardens could lead to further closures of venues.
Michael Kill was reacting to reports that Labour are planning to ban smoking in some outdoor spaces.
A new ban would apply to England however the Welsh government said it would work jointly with the UK government when new smoking legislation is introduced.

Personally my worry would be leaving a bar in a city and safely walking home right now, not passive smoking
Excellent point.
@@bryandavidson6386 Yup :(
Agreed
@@PrivateAccountXSG Ty:)
100%.
Pubs are far too closely linked to traditional British culture to have any chance of survival. Starmer will obviously want to consign them to the history books.
Interesting view!
no, I just don't want to pay £5 for a pint I can buy in a Can for £1 and then I have to deal with drunken coked up Gammons starting fights for no reason and if I want to smoke I have go out in the rain??? nahhhh I'll stay at home it's a lot better and more fun
@@PaulBadman Unfortunately they will not be £1 for long. They will tax them like in Glasgow. Though I love drinking at home , with all the entertainment on tap. The village pubs around here went downhill after the lockdowns. £6 for 3x 8.2 Henry Westons cider with clubcard :) Then some cans alongside
Drinking alcohol and having a smoke and socialising with friends in a pub really pisses off Muslims so Starmer want to ban it.😢
Pubs will still survive, just without the smoking section
Government overreach is also bad for my health... we don't need more laws.
Ban Keir Starmer
That brilliant publican in Bath did when we were told to attend Britney Spears concerts 😂. Two tier Kier and his WEFfonian cronies need to be given similar treatment if they try to impose such absurd restrictions...and I am not a smoker.
Those lines on starmers forehead aren't wrinkles they're circumcision scars
😭😂ah this hahahaha
@@andrefuller3669 funny because it's true 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
There's no "could" about it, pubs and bars WILL close and is exactly what they want.
I blame Heineken who hold a monopoly on free houses
@@PaulBadman if they're owned by Heineken then they're not free houses.
No, they won't. Same people made the argument when it was banned indoors.
@@papamurrth1But they could smoke outside, take that away, then why would they bother??
I’m not a smoker but this guy is a complete joker
and u are more than a joker than STARMER
@@dalebenton3354 In English please...
@@dalebenton3354 explanation please
but whats wrong? hes limiting smoking which improves health...
@@landoftheascendingdragon in an authoritative Orwellian way? Wake up.
Piss off smoking ban outside leave us alone this country falling apart
Nah, smoking should be ban in all public spaces.
@@Patrick-y4d1z Don’t be ridiculous.
@@Patrick-y4d1zI'm not a smoker but this is controlling people and it's not right.
@@SilentAssassin01234
How is it ridiculous? We don't need it as a society. Do it on your own and to yourself, sure. Hence, private space. But in public? No thanks. We don't need that.
@@redrevolution123
That's literally the point of the government, to control the behaviour of people.
That's why we don't go around looting.
Ban authoritarianism in government, goodbye pubs
Is it just pubs or outdoors everywhere?
Not smoking is authoritarian apparently. There's a lot wrong with this government but it's not banning smoking.
@@WitchyWhispers1 that's exactly what they are doing, no doubt Starmer will bring back the failed Tory attempt to have an age range ban on smoking.
In an ideal world it would be amazing for people not to smoke.But I doubd banning smoking will solve anything. Not to mention his true intentions behind it is to bury pubs and anything British for good!
Starmer is going to ban breathing at this rate.
As long as he leads the way for us all to see, that's fine. Then we can all laugh at him and tell him "I do not comply"
There is a difference between air and poison
Once he and his mates have thieved all the oxygen
Obesity costs more than smoking and drinking combined!!!
and we're expected to embrace and celebrate obesity...
Stand on the footpath outside the pub. Not their grounds. I'll do what I want, when I want, wherever I want for whatever reason I want.
Non smokers die every day
Smoking costs the NHS £2 billion per year The government taxes smoking £8billion .Wheres is he going to find £6 billion a year
smokers will just go out on the pavement then
worse for everyone
Then they will ban ‘public smoking’
And block pavements
@@hdk11 like to see them inforce that lol
@@markwoodward169they will just have private companies employ people to fine smokers, like the same kind who follow people littering.
disgraceful, the ban should not be allowed
Too right boycott this
Starmer is a dictator!!
And a narcissist.
Totally agree. He's becoming too autocratic already, I voted labour and now regret it!
Steimer attacking the working class again!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
😂😂😂😂
It's bonkers, most people move away to smoke anyway and be polite. There are few ash trays and then designated areas. The smoking areas are full of people that don't smoke, as that is where the crack is. It's not a health farm ;)
please say craic, crack gives the wrong idea ahaha
@@sarifdeji8639 🤣🤣ffs, good point
haha
What about all the pub staff that could lose their jobs
Alcohol got a free pass.
I’ve lost 22 friends and family members due to alcoholism & 11 didn’t drink. Stabbed by some drunk / run over by a drunk driver
3 friends 0 family to smoking.
So so agree👍🏻!!
Totally agree, and I’m so sorry for your losses ❤
GOD BLESS from Scotland 🙏🏼💖🙏🏼
Dont worry he'll start making laws to put the boot on drinkers as well.
I don’t smoke but I reserve your right to do so
Good to see he is being tough on knife crime as his Day 51 priority, oh wait
I stopped smoking many many Years ago , but I stand with the smokers on this .
No drinking No smoking And No sex
is this the final solution to everything!
What's the point of working.
As mandated by our beloved Fuhrer Starmer.
@@samranke4124 1984 here we come.
Ban food as obesity costs the NHS more money than smoking now. Why so many laws?
Sugar tax 2018...during the last government. Can't blame Starmer for that.
It's ok, shisha bars will obviously never be affected by a ban in two tier England 😂🇬🇧
Most pubs are barely surviving its all too expensive now for both customers and landlords.
l keep on hearing about the cost smoking has to the NHS...
lts a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of alcohol violence and health issues ...
l smoke...BUT l don't drink...
LEAVE my personal choices alone...
Non smokers that don't visit pubs telling smokers what and where they can smoke
Should be the landlords choice if they want a smoking venue and the customers choice on where they spend money
This is the truth. But we live under a functional dictatorship.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN SMOKING .
This is still an unwarranted and entirely undesired restriction on our freedoms.
@@jacobestersonexactly, let them do this what will be next.
Never smoked in my life and hate smoke but this new Labour government are a joke. If people smoke or want to they should be allowed outside what’s the issue with it? And Starmer bangs on about getting the economy right he will destroy pubs and restaurants if he enforces this
Agreed. Smokers just won't want to go to bars and pubs.
Smoking really should be banned outside hospital entrances it is disgraceful.
Tell all the doctors and nurse's as well then just as bad as the public
“They just wanna suck the joy out of everything.” - Rocket, Guardians of the Galaxy vol 1
Starmer and his ilk want to get rid of pubs .
Just ban going out Keir and have done with it.
Starmer would just convert all the closed pubs into Mosques.............!!!!
Government needs to stfu and not get fkd up real quick
Am an ex smoker and the best thing the government did was ban smoking inside and especially in pubs and bars ,but if people want to smoke and there's an area for them to smoke that's fine by me it's there choice but they must be respectful to non smokers outside as well.
So they stay in the pub for longer and develop an addiction to alcohol and become a burden on society as well. At least smokers dont shout abuse at shop windows.
is this really their priority ?
They should be giving us free cigarettes at this point!
Shall we ban Alcohol because that costs the NHS more money than smoking does. Or does that bring in too much money???
Don't give him any ideas
Meanwhile everyone is getting fat, costing the NHS more than smoking does.
As a nonsmoker Ban smoke breaks at jobs, not people smoking In the pub gardens. Bigger things to police than smoking.
Eh? Ban smoke breaks at jobs but not beer gardens?
Try policing the concourse at the London Stadium at half time and tell people to stop smoking whilst having a pint. Good luck with that. 😅
Why not close the factories that produce cigarettes and tobacco if it’s that bad for people.
outdoor ban that just makes no sense, i agreed before to ban smoking inside bars but now outside gtfoh
Hes not interested in savig lives his agenda is to stop anything that people enjoy 😡😡
Exactly. This will save zero lives. Smokers are already at risk wherever they smoke. Non-smokers are never going to get cancer because they sat near a smoker outside for 15 minutes. This about control.
An alcohol ban sounds a helluva lot more constructive 🤔
What a ridiculous idea.
It's not our fault Labour MPs were bullied in school and wet the bed!
Stop this, get some help!
Wet the bed though 😂 they actually did.....and probably still do with all the alcohol they drink 😄😄🤣🤣
If this government really wanted to tackle the NHS burden they would start banning the sale of alcoholic drinks. These latter cause more illness, brain damage car accidents absenteeism immune system weakness than all other causes put together. But alcohol is big business, and of course the majority of MPS plus the civil service are suffering some level of addiction to alcohol
Been spouting this for years...no images of diseased livers, drink driving accidents etc plastered on alcohol bottles..
Prohibition doesn't work regardless, the government should just mind it's own business and tackle the problems that the British public actually care about.
Dont worry, Starmer will get around to restrictions on alcohol soon enough.
Plenty more preventable deaths with cars shall we ban those too?
The amount of people smoking is at an all time low, we've already been forced out of pubs, restaurants and any other indoor place, now they want to take the wet and windy half sheltered spots away? Fine we'll just walk down the road a bit and throw our cigarette ends on the street or down a drain instead of using the designated ashtrays, great thinking PM...
He says its about health and cites the cost of smoking deaths but realistically how many non-smokers get cancer because they sat near a smoker outside a pub for 15 minutes? Whole thing is a joke.
Seeing as hospitality is the UKs third largest employer and tobacco brings in billions in tax, this seems ill thought through like much of Starmers recent actions.
I very much suspect vaping isn't covered by this.
Your cherry picking what freedom your willing to loose/
What is next?
Addiction isn't freedom
Meanwhile people are waiting 18 weeks to see a fuckin specialist on the nhs, priorities eh
Why are smoking-related deaths such a huge burden to the NHS? The State stands to gain financially from early deaths not to mention their huge take from tobacco taxes. This is just another example of Starmer's determination to undermine personal freedom.
And realistically, how many people died because they sat near a smoker outside a pub? Zero.
This will save zero lives. Smokers are already at risk wherever they smoke anyway. This is just an excuse to bash pubs.
I personally believe the government should not be able to make such a change without a referendum. They have no public mandate.
Pubs were all supposed to have shut down when the smoking ban on in pub smoking was introduced.
Didn’t happen though did it?
Wonder where all the my body my choice people are ?
How about designated smoking times in pub gardens? not during the day when eating, maybe only in the evenings?
They will just ban outright. There was that argument for some pubs with good extraction systems fitted could allow it inside in 2007 (like in Europe) But then some lawyer argued that it was discriminating against those that could not have them fitted . Same old same old, rather than sense
With the new kind of people taking over who needs pubs
Quit smoking! Best decision I made years ago!
Good pubs needs to close so does churches
I'm concerned for my safety when I walk anywhere, day or night. But yeah the smoking. Jesus christ.
Comrade Starmer trying to go after pubs that won't end well. Give them an inch they'll go a mile
I am a smoker and I've been to pubs that have banned smoking in the beer garden or on outside patio areas. My local pub will only allow smoking at the front of the building and not on the nice patio area at the side. The reason given is usually because people eating outside might not want smoke wafting over to them but often there is no one there. I'll stand in the car park or on the footpath if I have to but mostly I avoid places that impose too many restrictions. Often the best place to be is outside with the other smokers because inside the pub is often empty.
I think he's going to ban food next
Or find a way of charging for oxygen 😡😡🇬🇧🏴
@@johnmccann5104 Wouldn't be surprised tbh
@@Sage-Em Neither would I unfortunately....many a true word are spoken in jest.
I thought the bar was at its lowest under Johnson and Truss...seems Starmer thinks it will go lower😉
I dread to think the state Britain will be in in 2029 after five years with this lot making the decisions....😡😡🇬🇧🏴
People who panic about this don't know that other countries like Poland have complete ban for smoking in public. In Japan they have these closed boxes where all smokers go. And yet people there continue to live their lives, shocking
Yep no more pubs thank government nice work 😢
Only happens if the publicans and restaurants let it happen.
So "if" these measures are brought in to reduce the areas where people can smoke and ultimately in time reduce tobacco products from being available to the public, how much tax revenue is going to be lost ? What policies will be put in place to recover the loss of income to the Government ? More tax rises ?
We want our cigarettes back 🏴🏴
All the Karens should wear a mask then like in 2020 😂
smoking doesn’t cause car crashes, smoking doesn’t cause physical violence, smoking doesn’t cause blackouts- if the government really wants to attack the working class and limit access to a dose of serenity in a dying country, pick the more problematic option: Alcohol
Pubs were already affected when the previous smoking ban came in to effect, with many closing as a result. This latest idea from ‘I’ll do anything to affect British people and British businesses’ Starmer will see more pubs close.
2tier Kier at it again, he needs to GO!!!
Government overreach AGAIN!!!
Alcohol will be next
Based on social score.. like a credit score.. aka China
A government for the people 😂
I'm pretty sure Keir wouldn't like it if I banned him from drinking alcohol. Hypocrite.
But the smokers can walk down the street smoking?
Not just closure of bar's but also small coffee shops and restaurants.
Legalise cannabis
How many die from poor diet, might as well close, Greggs, Macdonalds, Burger King, Dominos, KFC etc..
The last smoking ban didn't kill pubs and this won't either.
The thing killing pubs is extortionate rates.
It’s a mixture of both no doubt that the original smoking ban killed off a lot of pubs
No
How about let people have autonomy ....
The governent isnt our mother or father .
Ive never smoked but i think its ludicrous to ban smoking outside ....
In sorry isnt a pub private property ?
The amount of tax the government have put on cigarettes more than pays for our health care , in fact we all should all have a penthouse at the hospital,and 24 hour care
Exactly we pay healthcare for alcoholics and obese patients,too.
Freedom comes with responsibility, especially when it affects others. I made a conscious choice not to smoke to avoid the health risks associated with it. However, when someone smokes near me in public, I’m involuntarily exposed to those same risks through passive smoking. It’s challenging to confront people about this, as it’s not practical to go around asking everyone to refrain from smoking in public.
That’s why I support the smoking ban. It’s not just about exercising one’s freedom to smoke; it’s also about respecting others’ rights to a healthy environment. Exposing others to the dangers of smoking, such as lung cancer and other serious health issues, because of personal choices is not only inconsiderate but infringes on the freedoms of those who choose not to smoke. Protecting public health should take precedence over individual habits that harm others.
Yes it is right to have banned smoking in enclosed spaces. But outside, there is no evidence that passive smoking causes cancer and other diseases. If people wish to smoke outside, I respect their decision to do so and it does not bother me. Or to take it to its logical conclusion, ban smoking altogether and make it a criminal offense.
But banning things does not stop their use, as with drugs like cannabis.
Persuasion, not cohesion is by far the best thing to do to stop people smoking.
,
Instead, if he is so bothered about the NHS, he should enforce a rule that any smoking related surgery or medical care has to be paid for by the patient as it is self inflicted.
No one should be forcing health onto other grown adults. We are not living in a free country.
We got forced outside to smoke now they want to take that.. NO WAY.. Breathing tax incoming......
they shouldn’t have to advertise smoking in the 60’s on first place
All our civil liberties are going to go , speech ,yes i know.smoking is unhealthy but its our choice noone elses, bet u ant money these politicians do what the f they want when they want to

I am a non smoker. And I have zero sympathy with the pubs that went out of business on the indoor ban, because they chose to suck up to smokers for decades, subjecting us to harm and the stink in our clothes.
This is a step too far. They need to address the supply side. Why not just stop supermarkets selling them for a start.
No smoker would follow this stupid law.
They will all just cobtinnue to use the outside spaces as normal and why not??
Are they really going to arrest everyone in every outside space for smoking OUTSIDE??
There aren't the resources available to enforce this in any case.
Good luck with that one..
There are far more important things to deal with in the country than this annoying from the government. The police will be thrilled to deal with arguments in pub gardens.
If your gonna ban smoking, why not ban drinking as that cost's the NHS and DWP, and also why spend more public money to Man this Policy.
