A landlord should be allowed to built a seperate (note-seperate) building of brick construction on his land / carpark for smokers. This can be regulated by planning permission etc. Smokers will have to accept a hike in prices to use the room. It could even be run by a committee of smokers & cleaned by them. I have not yet worked out a system to ensure smokers pay the inflated cost & not the non smoking bar rate. Ale could be delivered mechanically so there is no need for staff. Payment could be electronic. You could buy credit at the pub & by using a pin number pay for your ale. These things are doable.
