In every pub, NO SMOKING

Thats just nuts. Glad I saw the UK when I did (1990-93). Its fading away.

Ironically, the Japanese do not discourage smoking. They realize the savings in health care costs from smokers dieing prematurely and factor that into their economy. They must laugh at how Americans discourage it at their own peril in long term health care costs.

I smoke, but recognized it is obnoxious to non- smokers and stinks, so I won't smoke around people who don't. Pubs should be able to make that judgement on their own. In CA they call a place a cigar bar to get around it.
