As I said before, why should the non-smoker have a choice and the smoker should have no choice?
I like Chinese food but don't like Indian food. Thankfully there is a choice of both of these and many more types of restaurant. I know that choice of restaurant doesn't have health and safety implications but I hope that you can see my point. All sections of the community should be catered for and if they aren't then it is discrimination.
Nearly everything in life involves having a choice. You don't have a free choice of which Church you go to if you want a Catholic service, for instance. You don't have a free choice of music that you hear on the radio. If the station that you tune to is playing the wrong type of music for you then you retune to one that does. Why should you have a free choice of pub when millions of the population are given no choice?

To me it doesn't matter if it is a pub or any other place. If the owner of the public space wants to allow smoking on their premises then they should be allowed to.
