As a non smoker I am glad that this has been put into place because to be honest it made me gag everytime I stepped foot into a club, bar or whatever because of the smoke from ciggys. Also the stale smoke would cling to your hair and add to the groogy dirty feeling the morning after a night out.
However I can also see from the smokers view how this was a bad idea as I am friends with people who smoke

!
But all in all I am glad this has been put into place, now we need to work on the public places because there is nothing worse when your a non smoker and you pass a smoker in the street and they puff that smoke in your face

.. It makes me gag, I can't help it.
That's my view on that
