Ol' Smokey - People say they don't mind you smoking out of courtesey as well as indifference, so how can you tell whether they care or not? Besides, even if, as you say, the majority do not care then surely the number of people who do care one way or another is the best indication? If so, and we assume, say, 10% of each faction do care, then the number of non-smokers who care is still far higher than the number of smokers who do. Simple statistics.

As to what is wrong with having both smoking and non-smoking pubs. Nothing at all. Makes me wonder why, out of the 30+ pubs near me in the 40 years I have been drinking, none catered for the non-smoker.
