I will continue to smoke,if I ever stop smoking it will be because I want to,not because I am being forced to.However, the smoking ban will help me to cut down drastically which I would be unable to do by myself.

I actually stopped smoking about a year before the ban started here in Scotland. I will say though that if I had still been smoking, I'd have chucked it. No way would you get me standing outside a pub in the pouring rain with a Force 9 gale hurling round me. How the hell people enjoy their fags I do not know - their fags are dead after about 5 drags. Although I'm glad I stopped, I wish people who don't smoke would stop treating smokers like lepers. If everyone in Britain stopped smoking tomorrow, what would the Government do without the taxes. Christ, the NHS would fall apart.

I live in Wales had the smoking ban for a few months now ...... I haven't stopped smoking,just stopped going out, same as most of my mates. Go to other peoples houses now instead of pubs .... don't know what to do when they ban alcohol though.

i will still smoke. my social circle and family are nearly all non-smokers so i find it ok to not smoke when I'm out with them at a restaurant, pub or whatever and i don't smoke around them. i light up outside and only a few times, so the smoke ban won't bother me that much. on a pub crawl I'll just light up between pubs. no problems.

I'm seriously considering giving up (i've been smoking for 16 years). I am 'working on it mentally', slowly... I guess this ban is not a bad thing in the end

yes I smoke and intend to quit, thankfully theres lots of support and stuff being offered to help folks quit rather than just booting them out where we might form illegal underground smoking clubs in cellars and abandoned warehouses

Just don't go to the pub unless it has a beergarden and you can take your drink outside.
Or we could have a party round your place ?
