Smoking is injurious for health. But it is believed to be more injurious for passive smoker. So should there be a ban on smoking in public places. Not just ban but should people be fined a good amount for smoking.
If yes then write the amount you would think will bw right.

issue warrants to give enforcement officers access to public places where they believe smoking may be taking place.
people who smoke in a non-smoking area will be fined £50, which could increase to £200 if they repeatedly ignore the ban.
businesses that ignore illegal smoking will be fined at least £200 rising up to £2,500, if managers fail to stop smokers lighting up.
employers who fail to put up no smoking signs, which should measure no less than 23cm by 16cm, will be fined £200, rising to £1,000 for repeat offences.
the Government has also announced that a 'shop-a-smoker' hotline will be set up so the public can inform on citizens breaching the ban.
