The selfishness of smokers has always amazed me. I have worked with and
been friends with a number and two things stick out. Firstly, in the
days when you could smoke in pubs, the whole group had to sit and suffer
in the smoking area, even if there was only one smoker with us,
otherwise they'd whinge and moan so much that they'd ruin the evening.


I find it very amusing. Non smokers always said how much they hated pubs
because of the smoke. Now they're all non smoking, they're closing in
droves...


That's because the pubs never catered for the non smokers and they all went
elsewhere.
They lost the best part of a generation of customers who don't see any
reason to go to the pub now.
There are plenty of other places that did cater for non smokers that have a
growing customer base.
In this world its adapt or go bust.
