Yes, hence some of the health issues which you denied.
However, if my neighbour is not breaking any laws, it is up to me, as the person who is responsible for my health, to take steps to reduce the damage to a level which is acceptable to me, such as insulating the walls, wearing earplugs, moving house, installing double glazing etc.
It certainly doesn't involve interfering with my neighbour's ability to perform a legal activity.
You see, as I said, I take responsibility for my own health.

Repeating "it's a bad example" won't make it a bad example Clarie, I've given several reasons as to why it is a good example.

It was successful as a smoking establishment.
It failed as a non-smoking establishment, despite having the monopoly on non-smoking establishments in Wind Road.
Therefore if there was a mass demand for non-smoking pubs, it would have had sufficient numbers of customers to survive, after all, it managed while being a smoking establishment, and you claim that would mean it was catering to a minority.
