I did an interview for BBC Tees this morning.

Subject: 'Britain's anti-smoking culture takes its toll on the property market'.

According to Globrix ("the UK's largest property search engine"), almost one-in-four buyers expect a discount if buying a house from a smoker, while eight per cent would not live in a property previously occupied by a smoker.

Looked at another way, I pointed out, and you get the following:

More than three-in-four buyers do NOT expect a discount if buying a house from a smoker, while 92 per cent WOULD live in a property previously occupied by a smoker.
