As an former long time smoker*, I originally struggled with the bans as a big part of me felt that pubs are adult spaces for adults to do adult stuff. But a big factor in my battles with quiting throughout my 20s was the role pubs and bars played as an enabling space.
Ultimately smoking is bad for you and everyone around you. I'm not in favour of the tyranny of the majority, but when the minority is doing something antisocial and harmful then my fucks to give are limited. Honestly I now find it really odd that people still smoke.
