So what forms the basis of the ban? Do we ban chocolate because eating it excessively may be harmful to your health? All I am saying, which people seem to be struggling with, is that does going into a pub a few times aweek actually affect your health to such a significant degree to justify a ban? Simply saying that passive smoking is harmful therefore, yes, is IMO not wholly justified.
