Actually no, because the regulations for smoke in a public place would still apply, so such a room would have forced air ventilation just like a large pub has, and due to the small confined space, they are likely to be more efficient at clearing the air.
A lot of non-smokers, like myself, go into a smoking pub because we have friends who smoke and enjoy their company.
Now, if they all get corralled into a segregated smoking area which is sealed off, in order to spend time with them, I'd have to also go into that sealed off area, along with anyone else who also wants to spend time with their smoking friends.
Unless you think that non-smokers should be banned from going into the smoking area?
Don't even thinking about saying "but you can wait for them outside" why the hell should I? Don't you know how many promotions and business deals are done in company smoking sheds? Hundreds of non-smokers miss out on promotions simply because they aren't able to spend time with smokers while they smoke due to space constraints.
