As for whether it gets enforced ... how is any law enforced in rural areas? It may take longer to become accepted, but it is IMO just a matter of time.

How is it fair though?
At the moment, smokers and non-smokers can go into pubs and enjoy the time together.
With the current law, non-smokers can go into a pub, enjoy the clean air of the no-smoking area, while their smoking friends can relax in a legal passtime in the smoking area.
Once the bill comes into law, smokers will only be able to do so if they go outside.
It's fair to treat smokers as second class citizens is it?
