That is never going to be a "choice" though as it excludes the word Public from Pub and makes it a club. Even then that would be bordering on discrimination nowadays wouldn't it?
At the end of the day smoking is pretty antisocial isn't it, let alone the health implications? Usually anything that involves emitting a putrid smell in public is regarded as offensive in society.

Yes, it is antisocial. But why not let us 'antisocial' people have a quick fag with our drink on a night out in a smoking pub, and you 'social' people go to a pub that has
chosen to ban smoking? No-one's forcing you to go into a pub, are they?
