smokefree city council from oct 1st Changes to Sheffield City Council’s smoke free policy and the new vaping policy take effect from today (1 October) for all employees, customers, visitors, contractors, volunteers and members of the public while on council premises. The policies now state that smoking and vaping is not permitted on any Council premises including within grounds, courtyards, at entranceways, car parks, depots, or on any approach to any Council buildings. Smoking and vaping are not permitted in areas across from council buildings where the effects of smoke may be harmful to others or
unpleasant to others. Harm to bystanders from exposure to e-cigarette vapour and the risks to their health are likely to be extremely low however the council’s vaping policy takes in to account that some people find e-cigarette vapour unpleasant. Councillor Mary Lea said: “It is our ambition to have a smokefree generation by 2025 – a future where no-one can remember the last time they knew someone who started smoking . We have a responsibility to protect the health of our employees as well as the health of Sheffield’s population as a whole and as one of the largest
organisations and employers in the city it is absolutely right that we lead the way with our smokefree policy. We are supporting colleagues through the changes and offering help to those who want to stop smoking or switch to vaping.”The council has introduced the changes to help protect the health of its employees and residents and make its workplaces more pleasant, healthier environments for everyone. Greg Fell, Director of Public Health, said: “We want to help and support our employees who smoke to quit or switch to vaping and support them. Tobacco causes serious
harm to health and kills 16 people a week in Sheffield. We know it is a difficult addiction to overcome but quitting smoking is the best thing you can do to improve your health.” The polices have been developed based on the current best evidence and practice from Public Health England which now recommends that separate policies are in place to ensure the distinction between vaping and smoking is clear. . No smoking or vaping sings have been put up outside council buildings. Other organisations in Sheffield that are also launching or have already introduced Smokefree
policies: •Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Trust •Sheffield Social Care •Sheffield Hallam University •Sheffield Children’s Hospital Smokefree Sheffield brings the city’s tobacco control board partners and local services together under one umbrella and has been set up to help smokers, non-smokers, quitters and the whole community work towards a future without tobacco.
