You are forgetting that its them that are the ones that are causing harm, to themselves & others who they smoke around.

We non smokers also have as much of a right & yearning to "go to the pub" so why should our enjoyment of this always have to be spoilt by others smoking?

Public places are not the sole domain of the smoker, they are the domain of the people, the public yet many are being forced to stay away from them because they cannot stand the stench or the problems that they suffer because others smoke.

to smokers !
I agree, if you don't want to inhale smoke go to a non-smoking pub or restaurant or whatever.

There is a a big pub near us that caters for families, they do lovely food but I can't go there becuase my meal is ruined by screaming kids running riot all over the place. Why should my enjoyment be ruined by others???

But no that I know that this place is kids playground, I don't go there. I go to a quieter pub a further away where I can enjoy my meal in piece and have a conversation without haveing to shout over the screams of under fives.

It should all be about choice and nothing should be forced upon anyone. If you don't like smoke stick to the no smoking zones. It's not difficult.

Oh, and by the way I'm not a smoker but a believer in peoples freedoms
