I find it rather amusing that it's the non-smokers here who are blatantly more stressed about the issue. You have nothing to defend, yet you persist in making fools of yourselves with fatuous illogical arguments and personal insults. Give it a rest; enjoy your nice clean scum-free pubs while they are still in business. If your taste in music is less important than whether the performer smokes or not, then.. well, work it out for yourselves.
