I have to say
That if pubs provided a designated place that wasn't the doorway of said establishment, everyone would be a lot happier. Somehwere with a bit of shelter, but plenty of ventilation. Oh, and a little bit of warmth would have helped...

I hated standing at the entrance of pubs, puffing away. I didn't smoke in my own house, and didn't much care for the idea of other people breathing in my smoke. My feeling is that if the government had been a bit more forward thinking and allowed licensed premises to have a room designated as a smoking room, with adequate ventilation, there would be much less of the problem. Anyone venturing in there would have been doing so under their own steam.

As for people yanking down their pants and doing a huge steaming turd in front of me... well, I've lost count of the times that someone has dropped their guts at the bar, or on the bus, or train, or in the checkout queue...
