That means a total, outright public ban, as has been introduced in Ireland, New York and (next year) in Scotland.

So yes, if it's not blindingly obvious already, I object to the idea of pubs converting to private members clubs to get round the ban, on the grounds that I think the proposed exemption for private clubs is itself ridiculous.

Which only makes your dogged support of the habit all the more difficult to understand.
