Should add that, thanks to my miserliness in not paying HaloScan for permanent archiving of my comments, the rather lively argument which ensued has now been dissipated on the cyber-winds. The point about bar staff having to work in smoky environments was made, though, and my response was that working in a pub isn't actually compulsory, and that people enter such work aware of the conditions it requires.
Further discussion turned up the contention that some economically disadvantaged people are unable to find alternative work, and I suggested that an adequate governmental response to that would treat the cause (lack of employment opportunities) rather than the very indirect symptom (the presence of smoke in certain workplaces).
