if you want a smoke free pub then open a smoke free pub. the goverment has no business telling us we can't do something that's legal in public. Let the market decide. If people want smoke free pubs they will frequent them. If people want to smoke they will frequent those clubs. But we have a Nanny-State now. That's what you get when you elect a certain political party into power.

Yes I think it is good that it is banned in pubs. It's unfair for people who don't smoke that have to breathe in smoke fumes from other people. I wouldn't mind if it were illegal as I am a non smoker, but I think there would be a lot of arguements if it were !

if you go to a pub you know people are going to be smoking, why ban it or make it illegal? both are bad for your health why ban one without the other.

It is banned in pubs here in Ireland, all public buildings in fact. As a smoker I welcomed it. Never illegal though.

It should be banned in public places where it effects other people. You shouldn't have to breathe it in if I want to smoke or vice versa, ya know?
It shouldn't be made illegal though. Just so ridiculously expensive that very few people could ever afford a pack. Eventually, people would get the drift.
The reasoning for this is that when people inhale smoke, they get sicker (than they would normally be, that is). This taxes out health insurance and raises rates of health care for everyone. I shouldn't have to pay for another man's bad habbits. So taxing the heck out of cigarettes and passing that money to healthcare might mitigate the cost.

Where have you been? It is banned and it is illegal - it is also a pain in neck for people like me who smoke for England. Without the duty I pay on my ciggies the country would be broke.

I think on every high street there should be smoking and non-smoking pubs. I've got a local where the landlord himself smokes and even HE has to go outside-its ridiculous. What happened to freedom????
Restaurants- yeah fair enough, but at least provide a covered area to have an 'after dinner ***!!!!'
