I'm not the kind of person who would act all "righteous" and have a go at someone for smoking, nor was I a pioneer for the smoking ban as such. I'm not sure how I feel about it, sure as a non-smoker it's nice not to be inhaling other people's smoke but I've never had problem sitting next to smokers or just moving to another part of the pub if I don't like it. However the nice statistics about passive smoking were quite alarming, so although I think the ban was a bit harsh, maybe it's for the better.
