A survey is to be carried out in Brighton and Hove to find out if local residents back calls for smoking to be banned in public places.
Brighton and Hove City Primary Care Trust, which is running the survey, wants to outlaw smoking in public to help cut the number of smoking related deaths.
The numbers of people who smoke in the city has fallen from 40% of adults to 27% since 1978, but the trust says more needs to be done.
