The end of pubs': Nigel Farage leads furious backlash at Labour's 'nanny state' OUTDOOR smoking ban plans - which will stop people lighting up in beer gardens, near football grounds and in children's parks

Pavements by universities and hospitals are also expected to be smoke-free zones - with shisha bars facing the axe as the new Labour government bares down on cigarettes in shock new plans. The shock move has sparked fury towards Starmer's party - with criticism of 'nanny state' politics and memos from the Business Department already warning the hospitality sector could be hit. And the secret Whitehall report - which was leaked to The Sun - has been blasted by opposition MPs who have warned it could sound the death-knell of Britain's boozers. It comes under a bill that was first introduced by Rishi Sunak - which was a plan to phase out all smoking. But the King's Speech made no mention of an outdoor ban.
