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.

The smoking ban has actually saved me money - and I have not given up smoking. Instead of paying the high price of alcahol in a pub I buy it at the local supermarket and have a nice drink and smoke at home. The pubs lose out.
