Erm I did, that's why I replied as I did
I'm happy to only be able to go into certain pubs. Why aren't you?

Because health concerns need to be taken into account, hence the laws already set up to prevent dangerous activitites taking place in such places (such as drug abuse etc)

Abuse of some drugs is illegal - SMOKING ISN'T.

and the proposal to ban smoking.

But having only some pubs non smoking would tackle this too - why does it have to be a blanket ban?

Your above reasons aren't really good enough IMO. What about my friends livelihood? Are all the smoke haters and the government going to club together and give her a new business when she has to close through this new policy?
