Either way, it's not a good comparison!! You cannot compare a legal activity to an illegal one.

That is about free choice. However smoking is just not the same thing. It is dangerous - highly risky to our health!

As I said earlier i think there should be a separate room/building for smokers. Then, if the smoker's non-smoking friends want to join them - fine! But the other non-smokers, who like the bar, and who don't want to have to change, can also enjoy themselves without the added risk to their health.
Yep,a nd they could do that if there were smoking and non smoking pubs too.
