Smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces will be banned in England from July 2007, Secretary of State for Health Patricia Hewitt announced last week. England will be the last UK country to introduce a ban.

The smokefree elements of the Health Act 2006, the Regulations for which are being finalised and will be laid before Parliament shortly, will come into force at 6am on 1 July.
