And I'd say the need to keep the country moving is somewhat more important to maintain than the need for someone to light up.

Agree with you, but highlights the fact to me that cars cause proportionately more damage in terms of health, much of which is unseen and of course most people, smokers or non-smokers, drive. Is smoking in pubs such a serious issue as this when comparisons are made to the net health effect on everybody, that cars cause.

Shame theres so many that havn't though. Comparing the danger of cars and the dangers of smoking is one of the worst analogys I have come across. There is no necessity to smoke.
I have always found the mentality of 'if you dont like the smoke, go somewhere else' really annoying.
Smoking is a choice you made, you don't care about your health, but others do, so stop being so selfish and let other people go out and socialise without inhaling lungfuls of smoke.

Many car trips are certainly not nercessary.
