Two city squares will become Britain's first major public outdoor spaces to go smokefree when a voluntary pilot launches today.
The initiative will come into effect in Millennium Square and Anchor Square - both popular with families - on Bristol's harbourside.
It follows a major report last year by former health minister Lord Darzi which suggested that London and other UK cities should ban smoking in public spaces and parks.
Cities including New York, Toronto and Hong Kong have already banned smoking in key outdoor locations but Bristol is the UK's first to pilot smokefree zones. » | Press Association | Monday, February 02, 2015
