The new twenty year vision for Health and wellbeing in Northern Ireland,
A Healthier Future, identifies the need to reduce smoking as a key element
in improving the health of people in Northern Ireland. The DHSSPS, through
A Healthier Future, is seeking responses to a range of health issues,
as well as three possible options for action to reduce smoking. The HPA
will be calling for Option C which is the introduction of legislation
to ban smoking in all enclosed public places and workplaces.
The closing date for responses is 25 March 2005.
