I dont see much of people as in I have never seen a person smoke outside of the smoking section. That might have to do with my location, small town minnesota is more conservitive than many places.
I think it would be a hastle to piss off a drunk guy ten times a night to make him go out and smoke. I forsee violence.

They should have the MIB zap all the smokers with the new lazer treatment

That drunk guy is just a ticking time bomb then. OFF WITH HIS HEAD :D

We've found a smoker! Can we burn it?

BURN IT! BURN IT!

But how do you know it's a real smoker?

It's got a fag in it's mouth.

Oh yes.

BURN!

Smoking should be banned in any eating place, but should be allowed in pubs that don't serve food. After all, your vision of a pub is a smoky place with guys sat drinking and chattering.

A pub isn't a pub without the smoke.

I don't goto "pubs" so I wouldn't know much on the topic. However there are people that enjoy alcohol that don't want to inhale a nice crisp cloud of smoke.

Are there actually proper pubs in America? Or are they just bars and such?

Im not sure about in MY town per se, but I'm very certain there are pubs in America. We do have Brits etc. here you know ;).

I would have to question whether or not second hand smoke is or isn't extremely dangerous. Using your logic smoking would have to be banned if found to be extremely dangerous. So i guess thats where I think the arguement lies: a person's definiton of "dangerous".

If exposed to it against my will, it will kill me.

Dangerous enough, I reckon.
