The smoking ban has led to a rise in the number of Scots trying to kick the habit, the health minister has said.
Andy Kerr marked six month of the ban on Tuesday in Edinburgh by meeting a group of Scots who have quit since the ban was introduced.

He said: "I've been really encouraged by the extremely positive response we've had for the smoking ban."

Calls to the Smokeline service, which gives advice on how to quit smoking, have hugely increased, Mr Kerr added.


So much of our poor health in Scotland is linked to smoking and I think this legislation will have a real impact on that in the long term

Mr Kerr added: "People across the country are using the ban as an incentive to give up smoking.

"Others are simply enjoying the opportunity to go out and socialise without having to breathe in second-hand smoke.

"But it's in the years to come that I expect to see even bigger benefits.

"So much of our poor health in Scotland is linked to smoking and I think this legislation will have a real impact on that in the long term."

Limited social life

Among the guests at the event was Ellen Humphries, who lives in Glasgow with her 14-year-old son Richard, who is asthmatic.

Until six months ago, his condition meant the family were limited in their social life.

Ms Humphries said: "At big family occasions like weddings or birthday parties Richard could only go for a short while and then had to leave because of his asthma.

"Now we can go out and enjoy these things as much as anyone else."

Iewers in die vorige eeu het dit ons getref. Ek praat van kitskos, “fast food.” Toe noem hulle dit nie goeie kos nie. Ook nie goedkoop kos nie, nee, vinnige kos. Daarom jaag mense daagliks deur die verkeer onderweg na kitskos plekke toe; wag dan 20 minute in ‘n ry; net om tuis voor die TV koue kitskos te verorber. Mis ons dalk iets?



Maatskappye wat vandag aanspraak maak op vinnige diens is heel voor, nie dié wat die beste diens lewer nie. Alles gaan oor onmiddellike behoeftebevrediging. Hoe sing daardie rock groep uit die vorige eeu nou weer: “I want it all and I want it now!”

Hier’s ‘n belangrike nuusflits as jy dalk in die ‘kitslewe’ bedryf vasgeval het: God kompeteer nie met kitskos-leefstyle of haastige spoedvrate nie. Hy is nie daar om ons behoeftes op aanvraag aan te spreek nie. Hy werk nie vir ons nie. Hy is nie ons Kits-Kneg nie. Nee, ons buig voor Hom; wag op Hom; kom in ritme met Hom. So nie, loop ons die Here mis. Is jy tans ‘n kits-lewe slagoffer? Dan gaan jy beswaarlik saam met die Drie-enige God gestap kry! Hy is moontlik veels te stadig vir jou.
