YAHOO NEWS (UK & IRELAND): Campaigners for the right to smoke are launching a High Court challenge over the Government's smoking ban in enclosed public places.

The ban, which starts on Sunday July 1, covers virtually all enclosed public places including offices, factories, pubs and bars, but not outdoors or private homes.

The pressure group Freedom2Choose is planning to lodge papers at the Royal Courts of Justice in London seeking a judicial review.

The group says the ban amounts to injustice and erosion of freedom and personal liberties. Legal challenge to smoking ban (more)
