I guess it's hardest at certain times, like with a drink or after dinner with a coffee.

Talking about it now, so that's a start (I know this sounds really silly to some, but the more I talk about something, the more bored I get with it, and the quicker I'll stop just to shut myself up - it makes sense to me anyway

Of course if there were smoking AND non smoking establishments then they could CHOSE to work in either!
Sorry you choose to smoke You don't have to smoke in an enclosed public place & make those around you inhale your smoke. You can smoke outside, in your car or at home. If the only work available to someone causes them to get have cancer because of passive smoking the other choice for them is to claim benefits or move away. Now which is an infringement of civil liberties ?
I'm am ex smoker(gave up over 30 years ago & I smoked 60+a day & there were no patches no helplines etc & it was cool to smoke no health warnings I gave up because I couldn't afford to smoke & feed my dog & she came first)so I do know what the addiction is like to live with. BTW I never smoked in an enclosed public place ever !

Why stop at 'pubs' ? Your line of thinking could extend to other premises eg shops, cinemas, aeroplanes etc - we would be back to where we were many years ago, with non-smokers being forced to inhale smoke from their co-workers.
The time for change has come, nanny state or not ....

I go to the pub every thursday lunch time,as steve said a ciggie and a drink go hand in hand.
So 2 cigs in the pub once a week,and one with my horlicks 10 mins before bed.
Not sure i really want to give up the last one,as i actually enjoy it,not smoking it because i really need to.
