Nope not at all - it wasn't my decision and I didn't draught the law. TBH I'd have been happy had a couple of local places been entirely smoke free and we'd had a choice where to go but that wasn't the option we were offered by the companies who run them or indeed HMG. However if you want to talk about majorities there are in fact more non smokers than smokers in the UK so whose rights should prevail??
Anyway to put the question on convenience back to you, presumably you don't mind smokers blowing their noxious fumes over other people and not only inconveniencing them but potentially damaging their health.

Perhaps they left it up to the landlords in the end?

and you attached that to post about an already smoke free pub that had enjoyed huge profits up until Sunday due to it's unique status in the town, that pub no longer offers a unique service, so will quite possibly end up losing out due to the ban

Aha I think there is a missing 'A' from your post i.e. "to
a post about" rather than "to post about"
Since there were no fully non smoking pubs here there can be no before and after comparison but since it went FULLY non smoking on Sunday our local it's been just as busy so far as we can tell. The regulars are still there they just smoke outside.
As for any already fully non smoking pubs losing out well they could well lose some non smoking customers who have more choice now but if they're offering a good service etc. they'll also probably attract some smokers who would previously not have frequented them simply because they wouldn't have been allowed to smoke. Only time will tell what happens.
