Subject: RE: BS: The smoking ban & pubs
I still can't see why some non-smokers still feel they have to victimize and try to insult people over this when they have, in fact, got what they wanted. It's rather like being back in the playground.

For my own part, I object to paying ludicrously inflated pub prices for drinks and then being expected to stand outside, so I no longer go in pubs. Everyone's a winner (except the landlord) so what's really your problem?

I believe those who desire it have a right to a smoke-free social environment in which to indulge their alcohol habit, I just don't think it should be forced on those who don't.

The assumption that all smokers are selfish and wish to force their habit on other people etc., is a downright infantile attitude and does not merit any further attention.
