Pubs, restaurants, public transport and offices will now all be smoke free in Wales thanks to the new smoking ban introduced this morning. Anyone caught smoking in these areas could be fined £50 on the spot, there will also be consequences for people in charge of buildings if they continue to allow smoking.

Scotland has already put their smoking ban into place and Northern Ireland will implement theirs on 30th April 2007, England will then follow suit on 1st July. I personally cannot wait until the England ban comes into place; I tend to avoid pubs that I know are really smoky but will happily visit them again once the law comes into place.
