Ban 'will help stub out smoking' 

A third of London smokers plan to give up when the ban comes into force next year, according to a survey.

The study revealed that a further 53% said they would try to quit the habit when the new laws are introduced.

MPs approved the legislation to ban smoking in workplaces, including pubs and clubs, last month.

The survey, commissioned by the charity No Smoking Day, showed that of 28 million smokers in the UK 22% said they would give up when the ban came in.

The government had predicted that the ban would result in 600,000 people quitting.
