Re: smoking and the pub
I am not sure that I agree with this notion that what pubs we drink in should be dictated by whether or not we are willing to passively smoke. A smoker should have the right to continue to smoke if they wish perhaps, but a non-smoker shouldn't be subject to that, and shouldn't have to change their choice of venue to avoid cigarette smoke. It's well known to be a risk, and one that could be easily avoided.
Perhaps there should be a separate smoking room for smokers, in a separate building. And no I don't mean a different pub. I mean an outhouse where smokers can literally go and sit and take their drinks to have their cigarette.
