Be interesting to see the effect on the NHS. AFAIK the revenue that the NHS gets (indirectly) from the taxes on tobacco is far greater than the cost of treating smokers.
Anyway, back on topic.
Although I don't smoke, I actually don't have any problem with people smoking in bars or pubs. I don't even mind drinking or eating in a smoking area (although given the choice I do go for the non-smoking area).
Having said that, I live with a smoker (always have), so I smell of smoke already.
