I can't stand being around people who are/have been smoking, it makes me want to throw up, the smell just makes me ill.
I always yell at my friends because they smoke, but they all know not to do it around me.
I got very drunk once and smoked a bit too much (that was back when I didn't care that much about smoking) and I went to the Wacky Warehouse and threw up everywhere. Since then the smell of smoke literally makes me heave. I always yell at my sister and her girlfriend because they constantly smoke, the first thing they do in the morning is go out and have a cigarette, you can't be that dependant that the first thing you do in the morning isn't brush your teeth or get dressed, it's make yourself stink already by having a fag. It's pathetic and it really pisses me off, they're like "i'm quitting" but I swear to god that they shouldn't be so god damn weak and just give up
. Man, there's my rant... Smoking really pisses me off, I stole their fags once as a joke so they wouldn't smoke them and they went mental at me, they were at the point where they were both going to try and hurt me to get them back

My mum and dad smoke. My dad had tongue cancer becasue of it. So this pushes me away from wanting to smoke even more 
Yet he still smokes? That's idiotic, no offence to your dad.
Why do people still smoke even after all of the warnings and first hand experience they've had?

i think the smells horrible and makes me feel ill.
Speaking for my mum and dad though, we run a pub and when they ban smoking in pubs, we would loose quite abit of money as mopst of our customers smoke . We havent got a pub garden so they would have to stand out the front to smoke, i dont think people would do that.
So, even though i hate smoking, i dont think it should be banned as many pubs will loose customers and money 
.
There's a pub in my area that has a massive non-smoking area and a small area where you can eat, drink and smoke at the same time, the business is thriving and it's a really nice pub to go to, the business for them is thriving, so I doubt the smoking ban will cause any major damage to your parents pub, as long as you serve food that is.
