I found the idea for my story when reading articles on the county council website. The article I read was announcing that the council was erecting two smoking shelters outside County Hall. The article interested me and I searched the council website for more details about this topic. There was no futher information regarding the shelters but I did discover that the council had recently brought a no smoking policy into action through out their buildings, surrounding areas and vehicles. I had read numerous articles in local and national newspapers regarding proposed bans on smoking in public places and bans which have already gone ahead in places such as New York and Ireland. I felt that the councils decision to ban smoking in their premises reflects a society that is slowly changing and becoming more health conscious. I decided to investigate this area further as it appeared to hold the basis for a news story.
