Source: Channel 4 Television
Date: 22nd May 2007
Nearly three-quarters of Britons back a total ban on smoking in all indoor public areas and in restaurants, according to a new survey.
And nearly two-thirds think such a ban is already in operation and is being respected, even though it only comes into force in England on July 1st
The Eurobarometer survey, published ahead of World No Tobacco Day on May 31st, shows overwhelming support across Europe for such bans, with support for smoke-free offices running at 88%, compared with 86% last year. The poll also reveals that nearly half - 46% - of British smokers have tried to give up the habit in the past 12 months, a higher rate than in any other EU country
