It looks like Scotland is heading for this soon.
I'm a non-smoker myself but for some reason I can't help but feel sorry for smokers. It's an addiction/pleasure of life?, yet they are shunned like a modern day leper.
Shoved into smoking rooms, thrown outside and now can't go to the pub to have a pint and a fag.
Personally, when I go out smoke can annoy me slighter. Espeically when I smell like an ashtray the next morning. However, it's in the culture now... I don;t even know if I'll enjoy going out and just smelling beer and urine. I might miss the waft of stale smoke.
My verdict is that it's correct to ban it in transport/restaurants/work but I can see their argument for social occasions.
Or something.

I fully support the total ban. I can't stand being subjected to second hand smoke wherever I go. Perhaps pubs/clubs should be allowed as long as they make it clear to non-smokers that they will be in a smokey environment, or something.
So yeah, I'd like to see an outright ban. Smoking is a mugs game anyway.

But... people will look uglier without a haze everywhere.
Beer goggles will still fix that, if it's what you really want...
I'll look uglier
EDIT: Just a little though, I'm sexhah

Get a cast over your head. Girls will give you sympathetic attention and they won't see your mug. Result.
It's a rubbish idea to stop smoking in public places.
It'd mean the smokers to stand in the doorway of the pub/club/venue/shopping mall to have a ciggarette. This then creates a thick film of smoke to penetrate through as you stroll in.
Do they not think of the children?

My shirt stinks from last night, and I've got to wear it again now as I'm off for a match and we've got to go in shirt and tie!

But pubs and clubs are a place of work.
And to gamesfreak - The rule means that you can't smoke within a certain radius of the place, not only within it's doors, so I don't think you'd be getting a wall of smoke that you had to penetrate.
I saw something about this on TV a while back, interviewing people in pubs in Ireland where the ban has already taken place. The staff said that when the ban was announced, a lot of regulars said they wouldn't come back if they couldn't smoke, but when it was actually introduced, pretty much all of them did anyway. I don't think it'll make much difference to bar popularity, and it'll hopefully make for a healthier nation. Although having said that, what with the problem of OAPs making up a larger and larger percentage of the population, you'd think the government wouldn't be too bothered about making the nation healthier...
