Smoking Ban in England Starts July 1

A ban on smoking in public places in the United Kingdom comes into effect from July 1.

Local authorities are preparing to enforce the ban and anyone lighting up illegally will face a fine of up to 200.

As a last minute gesture, smokers' parties have been held, something unheard of before, with free cigarettes and a tobacco-themed disco featuring only tobacco-related hits.
