RETIRED Verree Andrews, 73, from Redlands in Weymouth, has been smoking for more than 50 years - and isn't about to stop now because of the ban.
She said: "I'm just too old to quit now. I've been pretty lucky but I think young people should really think about giving up because of health reasons.
"I think it's a good move to bring the ban in for the younger generation but it probably will end up affecting businesses.
"At the moment I go to the pub for a drink and a cigarette - in the future I might just go straight home instead."
