Divide over the smoking ban
FEWER Britons support the ban on smoking in pubs than in other public places, according to a new survey.
While 93 per cent agreed lighting up should not be allowed in restaurants, 75 per cent believed it was right for cigarettes to be illegal in pubs.
Smoke-free legislation was enforced across the UK by July 2007 – Scotland led the way with a ban from March 2006.
The Office for National Statistics survey also revealed the proportion of smokers who said they would like to give up dropped to 67 per cent in 2008-9 from 74 per cent in 2007.
