On the one hand i'd rather not go in to a pub and have my lungs filled with smoke, not because I think it's killing me, but because I don't like the smell, and I don't smoke myself.
However, banning people from smoking outdoors is eroding peoples civil liberties. In an outdoor environment you are not subject to hours of constant smoke inhaliation, your subject to a moment of, a more moderate dose of it. As far as bus stops are concerned you can always move to where the wind isnt blowing it.
It's completly different indoor because the smoke lingers, but outside it dosn't.

Another thing is; where does this stop? Some of you mention car fumes, if smoking is banned then, why shouldn't car's because they produce an awfull lot of fumes, I don't have the details, but I think im on safe ground if I say that they're not awfully good for us. Now of course, not a proper suggestion, because banning cars is not realistic, its just making a point out of where do we stop.
