Which I think was wrong. Smoking has never bothered me although I don't smoke myself, I never had any issue with anyone having a cigarette in a pub or restaurant.
In fact I quite like the aroma of someone smoking.

It really annoys me the way smokers get put down, when they pay massive taxes on the product they buy and the treasury would be sunk if everyone stopped smoking.
Hence their cowardly raising more and more from it and never making it illegal to smoke.

Smokers also pay council tax and therefore have every right to be doing so in public areas.
I was walking out before Christmas and saw a Parent allow their child to wee against a bus stop, just across the road from the bus stop is a supermarket with toilets in it, I found that far more offensive than anyone smoking a cigarette in the open air.
