I used to smoke. I understand the want to be able to smoke most anywhere. I haven't smoked in 11 years, but I'll tell you, if I go to a bar I EXPECT smoke to be in the air. I don't go to a bar for my health, and a smoke-free bar/pub just sounds oxymoronic to me. I do dislike it when eating tho. So...
This is my solution: Every establishment like a restaurant or bar has a smoking section with a good partition separating it from the non smoking section. Install smoke handlers in the smoking section to suck up the smoke and clean up the air. It may be a bit costly to implement at firtst, but the restaurants could be given tax breaks or something to offset the costs. It could work and everyone would be happy and free to smoke or not
