I can't understand your logic. Yes I agree it would be much better if we were to address all carcinogens in the atmosphere, but as we are not, surely it is better to attack the one we are??
If you want rid of cancer provoking poisons, why refuse to support a ban on smoking on the principle that not all carcinogens are being considered? All the time you are resting on your principles, people are continuing to puff out smoke into the air...

Raising other issues is just a diversionary tactic. Yes more should be done to reduce air pollution, especially given the major rise in respiratory diseases, but that doesn't mean smokers should be allowed to pollute enclosed public spaces.

Because it's a soft target, the links between passive smoking and any of the smoking related illnesses have not been categorically proven.
Anyway I'm not bothered for me the argument is over, I am an infrequent smoker usually having a smoke only whenever I am having a drinking session.
And I'm happy to say that my local does not serve food and therefore my enjoyment of a night out will not be affected.
