DATE SET FOR SMOKING BAN
04/12/2006The smokefree date is expected to have an enormous impact on bingo halls across England, just as it has done since March in Scotland.
Ms Hewitt announced: "Smokefree legislation will protect everyone from the harm of secondhand smoke when working, socialising and relaxing and will provide a more supportive environment for smokers who wish to give up."
While many bingo players will appreciate the opportunity to play bingo in a smokefree venue, the halls themselves have witnessed a fall in revenue as more people spend time smoking outside.
But every cloud has a silver lining and, in this instance, that means a massive surge in popularity for online bingo.
With players able to enjoy their favourite numbers game from the comfort of their own home, where they can do what they want, smokefree bingo halls next year could make online bingo even bigger.
