If we are going to bring health into it, might I point out that your body was not designed to process Alcohol either. Or meat. Although we have evolved the ability to deal with meat, Alcohol still does as much (if not more) damage as smoke. Admittedly, as long as you just drink, and don't get violent or drive, you are just damaging yourself.

Also there is no smokers side to the argument, they are arguing for arguments sake and I have seen all the arguements they come up with, none of which top the most important factor in debates about this topic, the persons health who is sat a few chairs away from the smoker, who either before the ban had no choice of either not going to the pub or going and suffering, not just from health problems, but stinking also. Walking 20 metres outside to smoke for 3 minutes, is much better than a smoke filled pub and much better than sending customers who want a none smoking pub, 1 mile down the road.

Depends where you live. I should imagine that in most towns (certainly in the South East and London), there is more than one pub a mile.
