Being allowed to smoke isn't about what people want. As I have said before a million times, smoking/non-smoking is not comparable to other such choices as gay/straight bars or live music/quiet pubs.
This is a health and safety issue.

You are forgetting the third and IMHO better choice that pub owners should be free to decide whether smoking is allowed or not. Logic appears to have vanished from the dictionary of some people who are against something that cannot possibly harm them if they take their rightful decision not to enter a place where smoking is allowed.

What makes pub owners so special? Plenty of other business owners have no choice about whether or not they allow smoking on their premises. Why do you think pub owners should be any different?
