I agree that there should be better facilities, such as smoking rooms (with adequate ventilation etc) or outside facilities with roofs.
I too think the ban on smoking inside any structure that has 3 sides on it is also as pathetic as you may think, it is entirely unfair especially when that structure's purpose is for smoking in.
A bus stop on the other hand is not designed as such as it can also contain non smokers, yet they always seem to be complained about when a smoker is asked not to smoke there.
By all means campaign for better facilities that allow you to smoke, changes in the law that allow publicans etc to put up cheap & effective facilities.
But I do not see in any way a return to smoking inside the pubs themselves and thats not gloating or being sanctimonious, its merely considering the effects of smoking on others.

not defensive or ranting about it, i rarely go in a pub these days as anyone who knows me will say, mainly cos i am unable to drink. i'm just speaking fer common sense, not summat that has had a very large detrimental effect on peoples livelyhoods, but that point don't seem to register with people like you.
but don't worry about it yer not alone.
