Hehehe...I'm not
that annoyed! But you do have a choice. Don't go in a pub.

Surely that's a little contradictory. If it's for the good of
everyone then smoking should be banned full stop right?

As I said, I am in favour of more places that are smoke free, so you could 'pop' to one of those places rather than the nearest smoke-filled emporium. Your choice hasn't been imposed upon at all, as you ultimately have the choice not to go in the pub - which is in effect exactly what you're asking the smokers to do.
BTW you're not an ex-smoker are you Salu?
