This Sunday events in Queens Court at thecentre:mk will mark the beginning of smoke-free England.
Local band, the Curvy Love Dogz have particular reason to be thankful. The three-piece band, who are all non-smokers give full backing to the smoking ban and will be performing during the day in Queens Court.
They play their blend of covers from Johnny Cash to The Doors, Van Morrison, U2, Cream, Kaiser Chiefs, as well as their own material around clubs and pubs most weekends.
"There's nothing worse than trying to sing and play while breathing lung-fulls of someone else's smoke, then coming home with clothes and gear smelling of smoke.
"I used to smoke ten cigarettes a day, but packing up is the best thing I did," said vocalist and bassist Colin Kempster.
Also on the day Fantasy Imaging will demonstrate to passers-by and shoppers the physical effects of smoking.
This technology takes a person's photograph and can age the image up to about 72. It can then add effects such as smoking and sun damage to the skin.
