Smokefree Mann Awards – Totally Smokefree EstablishmentsWelcome to Smokefreemann.gov.im
The Isle of Man has now introduced a new law to make virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces smokefree.
A smokefree Mann will help to ensure a healthier environment, so everyone can socialise, relax, travel, shop and work free from secondhand smoke.
This website provides you with information about the legislation and how it will affect you, your work place and the places you go.
This site also provides you with links to other websites that will help if you want to know more about going smokefree; for example where to find support to stop smoking, about planning permission for smoking shelters, the compliance line, and legislation elsewhere in the world.
Why smokefree?
There are a number of reasons why it is important that environments are to become smokefree.
The new smokefree law aims to help to improve health in many ways. There is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals in the form of particles and gases - some of these chemicals are dangerous poisons. Secondhand smoke is bad for health - it is known to cause cancer as well as many other serious health problems. Just thirty minutes exposure is enough to reduce coronary blood flow.
A Smokefree Mann:
- recognises a person's right to be protected from the harm of secondhand smoke and to breathe smokefree air
- helps people trying to give up smoking by providing supportive smokefree environments
- reduces illness and the number of deaths from medical conditions caused by secondhand smoke
- improves life expectancy because fewer people will take up smoking in the first place
