Smoking ban

 

In this edition of London Life you'll hear reaction to a vote in parliament for a total ban on smoking in enclosed places.

By mid-2007 you will not be allowed to smoke in restaurants and pubs.

This programme includes interviews with some smokers who are also regulars at a pub called The Red Lion.

Are they for or against the ban on smoking?
