Smoking: The killer facts

MPs will have a free vote today on banning smoking in pubs and restaurants. One-quarter of adults in the UK smoke, down from half 30 years ago. Smoking costs the NHS almost £2bn a year. For the long-term smoker, life expectancy is 8 to 12 years less than a non-smoker. A survey of 3,000 people last year found that 71 per cent were in favour of a total smoking ban.
