At the moment, there is no legislation.","additional_details":"This is NOT a call to ban smoking/vaping at outdoor events but rather a call for a fair system that provides designated areas for smoking and vaping while guaranteeing those who require it have genuinely smoke-free and vape free area.\r\n\r\nIn outdoor concerts and festivals, people can spend several hours in large, tightly packed crowds. Unlike on an ordinary street, attendees may not be able to move away from smokers and so be forced to inhale the fumes.\r\n\r\nDo not leave this to organiser's discretion.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":24,"closing_date":"2027-03-15","created_at":"2026-08-21T20:50:49.453Z","updated_at":"2026-09-16T12:55:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-09-15T16:57:44.739Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-22T07:06:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Henrietta Okonji","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DCMS","name":"Department for Culture, Media and Sport","url":""}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":24}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bedford","ons_code":"E14001084","mp":"Mohammad Yasin MP","signature_count":7},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Great Yarmouth","ons_code":"E14001256","mp":"Rupert Lowe MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hemel Hempstead","ons_code":"E14001278","mp":"David Taylor MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Heywood and Middleton North","ons_code":"E14001286","mp":"Mrs Elsie Blundell MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Leeds North East","ons_code":"E14001321","mp":"Fabian Hamilton MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001359","mp":"Blake Stephenson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Old Bexley and Sidcup","ons_code":"E14001414","mp":"Mr Louie French MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Oldham East and Saddleworth","ons_code":"E14001415","mp":"Debbie Abrahams MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Southend East and Rochford","ons_code":"E14001501","mp":"Mr Bayo Alaba MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"St Austell and Newquay","ons_code":"E14001508","mp":"Noah Law MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire","ons_code":"E14001512","mp":"Ian Sollom MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stroud","ons_code":"E14001529","mp":"Dr Simon Opher MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tipton and Wednesbury","ons_code":"E14001547","mp":"Antonia Bance MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe","ons_code":"W07000085","mp":"David Chadwick MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":3},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":12},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":4},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
