Pavements beside universities and hospitals, restaurant terraces and shisha bars are also expected to be made smoke-free zones under Labour's leaked plans.
Punters across the country have shared how they really feel about Sir Keir Starmer 's rumoured plans to ban smoking in pub gardens, near stadiums and outdoor restaurants.
Dan Lungeanu, a 36-year-old engineer from London, said: 'It is a double edge sword, whatever limits people liberties is not OK.'Lee Teasdale, 47, a watch repairer said: 'It's another law they're going to pass that takes away more freedom.' 'The bars are struggling already since Covid. It's becoming a dictatorial state being told what to do.
'It sucks for the people that are addicted but it's going to be better for the country's health so it might be a good thing. 'You can tell that Kier Starmer isn't a smoker with these policies but I think he has our interests at heart.' There have been warnings the plans could further damage Britain's hospitality sector.

'They shouldn't take it away from people... I think it's stupid personally. It's taking away people's freedom.' While Kevin Howells, a managing director of a security company, said he 'controversially' agreed with the ban. 'We all like to go and have some sort of fresh air in beer gardens... that's where the smokers concentrate.'
'It would also be impossible to enforce. Pubs are not going to call the police on their own customers and a lot of people would just break the rules.'
