Just putting the record straight.

Ok you've totally lost me.
Are you aware that smoking is a legal activity?
Are you aware that you have a responsibility to protect yourself from known health risks?

Talking about this, I still don't think I've seen a reply from you on private members clubs, where the members will either be denied food, or will have to stand outside to smoke, even though everyone who is there finds smoking acceptable.

Private members clubs are a special case. These are not your average establishments such as "The Wheeltappers and Shunters Club" they are the very exclusive clubs as seen in Mayfair etc. where you have to be vetted before you can apply for membership and the members are ballotted on your acceptance, if just one member votes against you are "blackballed" and will not gain membership. A lot of MPs are members of these clubs so it could happen that an MP voted for the restrictions on public smoking whilst still being able to carry on smoking in their club. Whilst the "The Wheeltappers and Shunters Club" will be required to ban it.
Crazy innit !
