Fair enough, I don't mind them wasting money heating the village but the smokers ignore the large ashtrays provided by the pub and throw their fag ends on the pavement beyond the little wall in the front of the pub. We take a pride in our village and it has got be said that the presence of an ever growing mess of dog ends on the pavement next to a primary school does not make for a harmonious relationship between the pub and the residents. Making pubs no smoking is fine but you often still have to run the gauntlet of a smokey atmosphere to get inside. Good luck in England with the ban, Ann
