The UK smoking ban...?

Add to that the extra litter created outside pubs/clubs, and the severe effect on the pub industry (as an employee there you're screwed anyway; breathe in other peoples' smoke or be made redundant) and you have a bad idea. No one I know who doesn't smoke cares much about being around smokers, unless they're eating in which case it's fair enough. And what's with it being banned in bus 'shelters', as if that makes any sense? I'm all for the ban in restaurants and the like, but not pubs.
