The smoking ban is good, full stop. Its protecting yourself and others from secondhand smoke and unwanted diseases. You may think i know nothing about this and if you do, youre wrong. I live in a pub, and have done for 3 years. smoke and secondhand smoke gets into my clothes, furniture, makes anything in my home that was once white yellow and is bad for the non smokers in my family. Your rant fuelled by the fact that you cant smoke is sad really, if you want to smoke, do it outside. end of. When you smoke inside its selfish, inconsiderate and whatever else, and if you dont like the smoking ban, deal with it and smoke outside or just quit smoking. The latter will save you money and prolong your life which is good. The other will not. Kinda obvious really.
