Pubs become smoke free from Monday.

You can hear the sigh of relief from bar staff and three quarters of
their customers, all over the country. It will save water too, not
having to wash this jacket after every visit to the pub.

`If you don't smoke and you're in a bar, don't complain about other
people who happen to be smoking, because, virtuous friend, you are in a
bar.'

A smoking section in a restaurant is like a peeing section in a
swimming pool. --Sheldon Brown

A bar without smoking is like a swimming pool without water.

Experience shows that once nightclubs in town become smoke-free,
all the interesting stuff starts happening in venues on the other
side of the city limit. So one can enjoy both the smoke and the 5x
cab fare.

Or, in Tim's case, airplane fare to Northern hemisphere -- but that
doesn't really change things down there.
