Your thinking is about as clear as your writing is-and the air around you. Clean air is always better than foul, but the real problem is that pub owners are not willing to invest in adequate ventilation.
It does cost. To keep the air clean when many people are smoking, the system has to vent air out of the smoking areas in such a way that it does not pass through the non-smoking areas. The air must then go through a series of filters which need regular replacement, and a larger quantity of air from the outside has to be mixed in, increasing the heating/cooling costs.
The "conflict" between smokers and the rest of us at the bar/music scene has a straight-forward technical solution. With a little intelligence, smokers can smoke 'em when they've got 'em and bother no one at all.

As a smoker I am more than happy to go outside to smoke! I have been doing that for years without a ban. I don't smoke in my own home so why should I smoke indoors when I go out? Even though I smoke, I can't stand the smell of smoke on my clothes after a night out. I am looking forward to the ban in public places!

As a smoker, I have to admit I'd rather not smoke! I'm addicted to nicotene and wish I wasn't... I went to Canada a few years ago and smoking's banned indoors in public places and it's an absolute pleasure just to exist with the suggestion that I don't need to/shouldn't be smoking!
It doesn't stop anyone - we just go outside (And it's l3l00dY freezing outdoors in Canada!) but I smoked a lot less. I'd rather my kids grew up with the idea that smokin REALLY IS bad for you and isn't just another 'Adults only' thing.

I understand where you are coming from, as a smoker myself, but I went to Ireland recently and it does actually work, the non smoking rule, everybody goes outside for a ciggy, and the pubs are now much nicer as a result of the rule.

I wish cigarettes would be banned completely I would safe so much money. As a smoker I know that my habit is disgusting I even know its not good for my health, but when I grew up Doctors were telling us that its good for you. So now I am stuck with this not so good habit that I am trying to get rid of. Its not easy but please dont make fun of it. That's why I would ask that we have a complete ban because walking past a person smoking a cigarette on the street is so difficult. Anyway to all of you trying to give up this month like me GOOD LUCK X

I live in a non-smoking area for public establishments. After about a month it got kind of refreshing to be able to go into a bar and not reek when you left. Besides, us smokers go outside or to the patio, and often you meet more interesting people outside than inside.

I DON'T SMOKE...but I think there should be a choice of smoking pubs and non-smoking pubs, then you have free choice about where you want to drink. My mother lives in Scotland and she said the streets are just littered with *** butts outside the pubs now, so one problem is solved and another problem rears it's head. They will never ban smoking as it brings too much money in for the government.

Coz the smokers chose to smoke, not the non-smokers! Obviously, if a government wants to come across as anti-smoking (which EVERY government does!) they want to be seen to accomidate the non-smokers.

It should be balanced as it did in the past, seperate smoking rooms.
What really cracks me is all the non-smokers ranting and raving about health issues but yet they continue to Drink ! Drive their cars ! Use chemicals to clean their homes !
Dont they all have health implications not only to themselves but to other people around them and also the environment.
