    Is there a smoking ban radius around public building entrances
    After having to walk through a cloud of smoke to get into the pub.
    I was wondering is there a radius in which smokers are not allowed to smoke around an entrance?
    English pub.
    Thank you for you time
    Wasn't to sure which category to put the question in?

    Nope.
    The law was changed to stipulate no smoking WITHIN a building.
    Companies had to specify a designated smoking area, but public buildings did not.
    So as long as you are not IN the building when you light up, your legal.

    A little short sighted, TBH, especially where Pubs, clubs, etc are concerned as a separate smoking room/bar would have kept this habit within the confines of the building.
