Achieving SmokeFree Rotherham

Smokefree Rotherham will not happen overnight. However, we hope that over a period of time, the aim of having a smokefree Rotherham will become a reality on 01/07/2007.

We will achieve this by working with organisations across the Borough to encourage employers to protect their staff by introducing smokefree policies to create cleaner, greener, safer and healthier environment.

A number of offices and workplaces have already introduced such policies but we believe that some of these will need to be reviewed in light of the upcoming smokefree legislation for “all enclosed work and public places”.

Smokefree Rotherham will provide resources and support to help businesses implement smokefree policies in their workplaces and create a “smokefree culture”.

A smokefree environment is good for health, good for the working environment and well supported by the general public
