So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbyeTo mark the last night of smoking in England this weekend, the Magazine will be compiling a gallery of your pictures. So if you're out enjoying a pint and a cigarette this Saturday, whip out your camera phone...

Puff, puff... the Magazine's long countdown to the smoking ban in England (see factbox, below) is about to end. At 0600 BST Sunday 1 July the ban on smoking in virtually all enclosed public spaces will come into force.

With similar bans already in place in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the occasion heralds a UK-wide prohibition on smoking in places such as offices, factories, pubs and restaurants.

That leaves one final Saturday night for smokers in England to enjoy a last hurrah. To mark the occasion, the Magazine wants you to send in your pictures of the last night of smoking.

These are scenes which won't viewed in (law-abiding) pubs, clubs, bars and restaurants ever again, so be ambitious.
