My pennies worth: I'm a firm believer of "when in Rome"....even though it's not Rome, as a part-time smoker (usually at beer and scoff o'clock and/or on holiday) I'll oblige whatever law is in place. I'm a conscientious smoker anyway and would always have a look around to see if people were eating. At the end of the day, smoking and not smoking is a choice, find the common ground and live with it (all around). I was in Gibraltar recently where it's still permitted to smoke inside, and I still found myself popping outside for a cheeky one...I like the fact that I can go home of an evening not smelling like the inside of an ashtray.
