There are? Care to provide a list of them because I can't find anywhere that details pubs that have a complete "no smoking" policy.

Insist that the location has decent ventilation/extraction...
Yes, this is would be a good thing. Unfortunately too many places don't have such systems.

Don't start telling people what they can/cant do - to take this further - lets stop people drinking in pubs - because drunks cause fights and harm people around them...
This is a ridiculous comparison. People who drink alcohol don't generally start spraying it around everywhere and covering those who don't drink with it (except for racing car drivers etc!)

How far are you willing to go before you see this as an infringement of a persons freedom ?
And what about *my* freedom to not breathe their smoke and have it stink up my clothes? I have no objection to people doing things that don't impinge on me or anyone else, but your freedom to swing your fists around ends at *my* nose.
