I guess it would be a service to some people to mention features like beer gardens, outdoor tables and the like. Though less an issue in the UK where drinking out on the street in front of the pub is generally okay.
I walked past a pub last Friday and had to go onto the road because the pavement was full of drinkers.
I was expecting smokers to colonise beer gardens and tables outside, but I handnt thought they would occupy the pavement to the exclusion of legitimate pedestrians.
What happens in Ireland might be a vision of the future in England: little cordoned off areas outside venues with a horrendous concentration of smoke exhaust. While the sun rarely shines on ireland the times it does it's a shame rooftop terraces and gardens are choked with smokers.
It's definitely a step in the right direction (any ban) but California has it right: smoke-free cities. If you want to smoke, do it in your car or your home.
