Smoking is to be banned in all of Scotland's 7,500 pubs and bars under government plans to follow the highly successful tobacco-free zones in Ireland and New York, it emerged recently.
Ministers had previously restricted any plans for a smoking ban to restaurants because they feared a massive backlash from drinkers and the tobacco lobby.
But after similar moves in New York and Ireland were met with less resistance than expected and produced evidence some smokers were quitting, Scottish ministers now want a more far-reaching crackdown.
