If I could try and find some common ground between us.
If a bar is open to the public (thats why they are called pubs) then no, they should not cater to the minority smokers. However if the bar is private (a club) then I am with you 100%. Smoke, dress, include exclude whatever. As long as the rules are clear and consistently applied I see no problem.
But the goverment should legaslate to protect people in public places, including shops or offices where the public have a reasonable chance of being in or access too, from the lack of manners of a very small but vocal minority group. Its a shame governments are forced to enable laws that common decancy should cater for, but thats people.
there are laws about spitting in the streets, its disgusting, spreads disease and is frowned upon in public. I wonder if there was the same uproar when the government brought in that law?
