see. I see your point but the problem is not with the beer itself it is with the person. If someone is in a pub drinking on a table opposite me as long and they don't act like a tosser it won't affect me at all. In comparison, the nicest smoker with the best intentions in the world may be near me and no matter what I do, unless I go outside, I have no way of escaping their fumes. I don't neccessarily agree with banning it completely because there are too many people addicted to nicotine already, but I do agree with banning it in public places. Or there could be designated smokers bars or pubs or whatever where it is clearly noted that if you go in here you are gonna get fag smoke either accept it or go somewhere else.
