" im sorry for all you stuck up non smokers out there, but you kno, you werent FORCED to go to a pub where there was smoking"

But neither was there provision made for me to have a drink in clean air!. Nobody's forcing YOU to go into a pub you can't smoke in. The boot's on the other foot, we had to put up with your smoking in order to have a sociable drink and now you have to forgo a smoke for a short while while you have a sociable drink. Is it really that hard to do?

As for rethinking your career choice, have you spared a thought for the non-smoking bar-staff who WERE forced to endure smoke or go without a job? Perhaps you could volunteer to replace a beagle in smoking experiments?
