Scottish Smoking Ban Effects raised in Holyrood

A story on the BBC News website that the local Roxburgh & Berwickshire MSP has raised concerns expressed by businesses that with the smoking ban in England not coming into effect until next year that smokers are crossing the border to take advantage of the difference.

First Minister Jack McConnell suggested in response that non-smokers from England (he probably said "outwith Scotland" though) may well be doing the opposite and that the number of non-smokers and wannabe-quitters outweighs the number of smokers.
