The Isle of Man's smoking ban in enclosed indoor areas is a year old today, and those charged with enforcing it say it's been a great success.

Tobacco Strategy Coordinator at the Department of Health and Social Security Anita Imberger says many people either gave up smoking before the ban was introduced, or have been given the motivation to do so after it came into force:
