But so is what you're proposing. At least with my suggestion you have the chouce of where to go if you don't want to be near smokers. What you're proposing is an outright ban on any smoking in public places. What I'm proposing is places where people who choose to smoke can go, and those that choose not to can go. You can't have it both ways.

You know what they say about ex-smokers
You should take it up again - it'll help you relax!

Thats what smokers do...and then they say that if we don't like it we shouldn't be where they are!

Why are you criminalising the smoker, when the person you have the problem with (reading between the lines) is the owner of the establishment? If smoking is permitted in a location then they will smoke there.

Agreed, just like I said about three pages back. I wouldn't want any non-smoker to
have to endure any location where they might be offended or afraid for their health. Therefore more non-smoking pubs are the way forward...just one problem - they don't make any money - so do non-smokers not go to the pub?
