A "snack-size" cigarette is being planned to allow smokers forced outside by the smoking ban to get a quick fix of nicotine.
The compact cigarettes will be half an inch shorter than conventional cigarettes - measuring 2.8in (7.2cm) instead of the usual 3.3in (8.5cm) - and will have the same potency but will take less time to smoke.
They are designed particularly for employees who are forced outside for a cigarette break.
The cigarettes, created by the tobacco firm Philip Morris, will be tested in Turkey but the company believes it has worldwide potential, with more than 50 countries now having bans on smoking in public places.
