Unless I'm missing something, I haven't seen a mention of an outright smoking ban in the article (as many people seem to think).
Quote:
Smoking at the bar is set to be banned in a third of British pubs.
And around 80% of pub space will become non-smoking within five years - but the move could lead to the closure of 5,000 pubs according to the industry.

As a smoker, I'm not too bothered with not smoking at the bar. In fact, many places don't allow that at the moment. And 80% of pub space would simply seem to suggest more non-smoking areas, which I can deal with provided there is an area where you can light up.
