A new UK poll finds majority support for smoking restrictions in outdoor hospitality spaces. According to the results reported by The Independent and the Belfast Telegraph, almost two thirds of respondents would back a smoking ban in pub gardens. The poll also indicates strong support for limits on smoking in areas used by children. The Independent reports that nine in 10 respondents would ban smoking in children’s play areas. The outlets present the findings as evidence of broad public backing for smoke-free outdoor environments, particularly where children are present. The reports do not specify the polling organisation, sample size, or methodology in the information provided. However, both sources agree on the central figures: support is highest for banning smoking in children’s play areas, while a substantial majority also supports extending restrictions to pub gardens.
