The term "pub" is derived from public house, a house which could be frequented by the public to consume beer, ale and cider, if there is a total ban on smoking then it will not be a "pub" but an exclusive establishment for non smokers, if this were taken to its' full extent it could be deemed discriminatory as certain classes of persons are excluded by reason of non admittance to smokers.
Smoking is not illegal nor is it an offence to be in possesion of smoking materials.
Certain other sustances, subject to control are illegal to have in possession but I wonder how many people you know take the high horse when tobacco is mentioned but will pop a few pills in the club ?
