Well I'm a non smoker and I hate coming home smelling of smoke but I think a blanket ban is a bit too much. I think it will be the death knell for some smaller local pubs.

If a pub serves food then absolutely make it no smoking, if it allows children in then again, absolutely no smoking but if it's a pub where only drinkers go to for their pint after work or lunchtime then I think there should be an application process to allow some pubs to be smoking pubs.
