TAKE advantage of those smoko breaks while you can, the people of Bristol, because by 2024 your city will be officially smoke free - at least that's the suggestion from a recent British study.

So the next time you are travelling through Bristol and someone asks you for a light, be prepared to forage through your pockets for a torch.
