" Two in three MPs would back a full ban on smoking in England a new survey has shown.  The politicians support a smoke-fee policy on all workplaces and enclosed public places, and are against the government&amp;#039;s suggested exemptions for pubs that do not serve prepared food and for private membership clubs.  Fresh, the campaign for a smoke-free North East, suggests that half of all pubs and private clubs in the area would be able to remain smoking premises under the legislation currently being proposed, because of exemptions and loopholes.  The proportion of MPs backing a complete ban, which now stands at two-thirds, stood at just over half last year.  Cancer Research UK and Action on Smoking and Health commissioned the survey, of just over 150 of the Commons&amp;#039; 646 MPs.  It found 77 per cent agreed a widespread smoke-free law would make it more pleasant to visit public places. And 91 per cent said the government had a responsibility to try to make people&amp;#039;s lives healthier by actively discouraging smoking.  The survey was made up of 80 Labour MPs, 45 Conservative MPs, 22 Liberal Democrats, and six other party MPs.  \u00A9 Adfero Ltd "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
