Well done on the 10 years +
The “hospitality industry” only cares about profits in a dwindling demographic.

Yeah they do...
Tim Martin, founder of the JD Wetherspoon chain, said competition from supermarkets was “a big challenge for pubs”, with the disparity in prices between the two widening in recent decades. This was “causing people to drink more at home”, he said.

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.
