Yea thats what I found when I visited Scotland. Got talking to someone having a smoke outside and he said it took them all a while to adapt the situation, few people being barred out the locals, even arrested. But now it's just part of life.
I see the more "local" pubs to be a little less foreful in the ban with the regulars. Most I've spoke to said they would still allow smoking if only it was quiet. So during the day when they only have a few of the old men in for the afternoon pint. This I think would work better than an outright ban. I seriously can't think how the nightclubs etc are going to be able to cope. Just need to wait and watch
