How long do people spend visiting those places compared to the pub?
What about private clubs which serve food to members?
Non-members cannot enter, so why should members who accept the smoking conditions either have to leave their club to smoke, or no longer be able to get food there?

Ah but walking down the road you are not choosing to be a target are you?
Sure you are exposing yourself to risk, but you are not choosing to definitely suffer that risk.
Going into a smokey environment you are choosing to passive smoke.
If you want to visit a pub which currently allows smoking, why not get a petition together and write to the landlord to show them the number of people who would drink there if it became a no-smoking establishment?
