That's not the smokers fault, it's the weakness of the "majority". Also what kind of friends do you have where you allow the one smoker dictate where you go?
I have two groups of friends, the majority in one group smoke, ie 8/10 the other group im the only smoker. In the second group no way do I dictate where we go depending on whether or not I can smoke, thats ludicrous. If say we go to a restaurant I will always step outside and in general when around a group of non smokers I step outside. So perhaps you are just a weak person and let a smoker bully you into going where he/she wants to go.
If you were THAT bothered, you wouldn't go to smoke filled pubs and slowly the market would adapt.
Of course the counter argument would be that the government is doing this to protect us and all that bollacks. We know that's horse shit as they are willing to sell them to us, but smoking them when and where we want. NO NO NO.
