“Historic” smoking ban for Scotland
The Scottish Parliament yesterday voted overwhelmingly in favour of a ban on smoking in public places.

From March 26 next year it will be illegal smoke in any enclosed place open to the public, including pubs, clubs and restraints.

Jack McConnell, the First Minister, declared it a “historic day for Scotland” as MSPs favoured the ban by 97 votes to 17 with one abstention.

“This legislation is one of the most important decisions that has been made sinbce devolution,” he said.

“It is a decision that shows we are determined to change Scotland for the better.

“March 26, 2006 will not just be the first day of summer, it will be the first day of a new future for our country – a healthier future, a future where Scotland lives longer, where families are less likely to be touched by tragedy, and our young people are fitter and better prepared to make the most of their ambitions.”
