LOL Hierophant

But the point is, as you realise, that one mans freedom is another mans restriction. So the freedom and rights card itself is double sided and its value depends on which side you look upon the card.

So the application of compromise and common sense prevails IMO. If the bar or pub or club is open to the public IE no membership needed then it should be a total ban, no segregation, no dark corner with a sign saying smokers only. The compromise is of a members only club like a cigar smokers club [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] who may have the right to continue under certain conditions set out in membership. But as for the protection of the workers therein? I will leave that one up to the lawyers.
