As a non-smoker in the pub trade I welcome the ban. Not on health grounds especially, since I knew when I started that I would be in a smokey atmosphere, but because I regard smoking as a filthy habit. Stinking smoke that clings to your skin, clothes and hair, fag butts (thats one for our American friends to ponder) everywhere. The taste in your mouth when eating near a lit cigarette, hell even the taste when kissing a smoker.
I look forward to nights at works, and about town, without the reek of smoke. And if it helps so much as one person give up the smokes then it is worthwhile.
