Nope, but then I also see many smokers who would gladly cut thier nose off to spite thier face if it meant they could keep smoking, regardless of its effects on them and those around them.

Pubs are a hive for Drinkers, not smokers, it just so happens that for those with adictive personalities the two habits are hard to sepperate.
Personally I have never complained about a smoker smoking in a pub, with the exception of one person smoking a cigar in the non-smoking resturant part of the pub.
Also in my experience we non-smokers complain about smoking no more than smokers do when stuck on a non-smoking flight, bus, pub, resurant, shop, etc.

I thought that was a smokers job?
And Damn straight your interesting, I find it fascinating watching someone with yellow hands (or at least fingers), a reduced sense of smell & taste and hair that smells moderatly like the aftermath of a forrest fire, poisoning themselves and those in proximity, denying the effects that this habbit is having on them yet they cant see the addiction, wich is an effect in itself.

BTW im getting out of this thread before I get too deep into it, Im not going to get myself worked up like I did in the last anti-smoking thread. And I also noticed that it looks like im picking on Bifta, its nothing personal mate but you summed up the points I wanted to counter the best.
