Oxfordshire | Smoke ban landlord vows to quit 

An Oxfordshire landlord has vowed to stop smoking in his own pub and ban customers from lighting up after being fined more than £1,700.

Gerry Stonhill, of the Masons Arms in Witney, admitted five offences under the new smoke-free legislation.

He was fined a total of £1,750 and ordered to pay £4,000 costs at Witney Magistrates' Court.
