My only whinge about smoke breaks is when they go in the toilet for a fag. Management clamped down on it but it still happens now and again especially in winter when it's cold outside.

Indeed, but what that has got to do with smoking at work I have no idea.
The new law will affect most public premises, including workplaces and work vehicles.
