As much as I'm against smoking (I'm one of the smug gits who has never smoked), I don't see a total ban being worthwhile. Yes it'll mean my daughter and I can go to any family pub without worrying about coming away with that horrible musty smell that you find on most smokers, but what is fair to all (which is what you normally find in a democrasy) would be choice - if you want to slowly kill yourself and stink of an old ashtray then fine, you go and do that. However there should be a lot more incentive for publicans to offer 'non-smoking' nights or even a complete ban in their own premises.

My reply was "I can smell your smoke".

She muttered something about "cheeky git"....
