Spain has become the latest country to ban smoking in public places.

The law, which came into effect today, has made it illegal to smoke in offices, shops and cultural centres and larger bars.

Bars and restaurants which are smaller than 100 metres can choose to be smoking or non-smoking.

Smoking areas will be allowed in hotels, airports and stations.
