BBC NEWS | Politics | Smoke ban 'may be total by 2007': "Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt says it is 'only a matter of time' before there is a complete ban on smoking in public places in England and Wales.
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday AM, she did not give a specific timescale, but said a total ban would be 'simpler'.
But she also defended the current proposed ban, which exempts pubs not serving food and some private clubs.
A total ban is due to start in Scotland next year and in Northern Ireland the year after.
'I've said several times before I think it is only a matter of time before we get to a total ban,' she said."
