I can't stand certain types of music, rather than calling for it to be banned, I do the sensible thing of simply avoiding it.
I don't like watching certain types of TV programs, but rather than wanting those programs banned, I do the sensible thing of not watching them.
It's not hard you know.

The types of music and the types of TV programmes you don't like aren't harmful to your health. All types of music and tastes of TV programmes are catered for. If you want to listen to a certain type of music I don't like, I will not be affected by it, and nor will my health.
It's not complicated you know.

I am happy for you that you have such well-equipped pubs in your area. Not all areas do. Besides, as SlackDad said, having a smoking area in a pub is like having a weeing area in a swimming pool.
What if I don't want to go to a restaurant or to the cinema? I want to go to a pub. Need my health be compromised by my indulgence in this great British tradition? Or could you perhaps do me, and all of the other non-smokers, and the staff in the pub a small favour, and step outside for a wee minute to smoke your fag?
I have said it all once and no doubt I will say it all again...
