A grandfather was so outraged by a Wales-wide ban on smoking in public places he built his own private pub.
Property developer Kerry Morgan, 50, feared the simple pleasure of smoking and drinking a pint was about to disappear forever.
As a result he built an extension to his home, in Briton Ferry, Neath, south Wales, and transformed his garden into a substantial public house.
Now the 90-seater boozer is his own personal refuge from a smoking ban which came into force across Wales on Monday.
But friends and family of Mr Morgan can puff away regardless, safe in the knowledge they are perfectly legal.
Boasting a wide screen TV, juke box and bar with draught beers and lagers it is even named the Malcolm Davies Bar after a deceased friend.
"Once you sit in there, you could be in any other pub - except everything is free", Mr Morgan said.
