Unless they're dedicated chain smokers on 60 a day, even those who smoke will only be doing it for a few minutes each hour.
So what's so hard about them popping out for a drag every now and again?

So effectively you are saying that there is not much smoke about. If it's the smell you are complaining about then are you going to ban perfume and aftershave too. I have been put off more by those smells than I ever have by cigarette smoke and that was when I didn't smoke. Those smells are also very hazardous to your health when the wife smells them on you and thinks you have been misbehaving.

I have also heard of "no smoking" areas and no smoking pubs, try and find one and you may be happy.
I don't think that this exchange can ever result in any agreement as each have their own ideas and won't be moved. Lets leave it that we should have freedom of choice in what we do and where we go. A publican should also have free choice in what he allows on his property.
