IT IS exactly one year since the smoking ban was enforced in England, stopping smokers from lighting up indoors in public places.
Although criticised by many smokers and some publicans, the law has been hailed a success.
Across the UK, an estimated 400,000 people have given up tobacco in the last 12 months, while inspectors have found a 98% compliance rate with the new rules.
What do you think? Has the ban been a success? Is having to step outside for a cigarette a small price to pay for the health benefits the ban has introduced?
Or has the ban spoiled your social life and ruined your local pub? Do you feel it infringes your civil liberties?
