I appreciate that for a non smoker, a smokey place wasn't nice. However, it was always my opinion that they knew a pub was a smokey place, and they could either go there or stay away... They had the option, something that us lepers haven't had. Yesterday sucked balls, having to leave my party to go and smoke, and having 2 at a time to make the trip seem worth it, I smoked more than I usually bloody do!!!! There could have been a decent compromise, and there wasn't. Oh, and Mark, just because someone doesn't smoke, I don't think you can assume that they'd automatically vote for a ban on it... That's like saying that all vegetarians would ban the use of meat in restaurants.
