You shouldn't, no question - but I feel that there are probably middle ways between that and banning smoking everywhere but in people's own homes. What about, for example, pubs being able to offer a smoking room if it meets certain ventilation standards and 2/3 of the pub is non-smoking? Or being able to offer 'smoking nights' 2 nights in 7? Or perhaps being able to have a smoking pub if there is a non-smoking pub within a 5 minute walk? I'm sure others could be devised...
I just don't like the primary-school absolutism of bans. I agree non-smokers should not have to put up with smoking, but I don't like the 'you can't kill yourself here' aspect.
