I have accepted the smoking ban, and previously made that clear.

If you'd actually read what I've said instead of making wildly inaccurate assumptions about me based on your own obvious prejudices and reinterpretations, you wouldn't need to ask any of that. Have you ever stopped gloating long enough to consider how the ban might affect elderly or disabled smokers?

I see what you're getting at now regarding the after-hours drinkers going outside for a smoke, despite risking the publican's licence - thanks for clarifying that. It does, however, bear out my claim that not all smokers are as inconsiderate/selfish/homicidal or whatever as you claim them to be. Or are you perhaps implying that the smokers where you live are morally superior in some way?
