Will never, ever happen.
Even if the petition gets the needed number of signatures it only means it'll POSSIBLY be brought up in Parliament. It goes through another committee first who decides which ones they pick then the time allocated to it is minuscle, like half an hour a week on which ever subject this committee of Tories choose to debate. An I'll gaurrentee you they wouldn't touch that one with a 100000000000000 foot barge pole.
They wouldn't want to lose the busybody elitist hypocrite high horse sector of voters which is there bread and butter.
Dunno about you but I never seen many toffs in my local.
In short "Fuck you Jack, I'm fine."

Fuck your Honda Civic I've a horse outside...
These smoking bans are just feel-good legislation that the politicians pass so they can pretend they did something to help and collect fines. They waste more time and money on shit like this instead of focusing on what matters, like balancing the budget.

Figures. I hate government. We should live in a world where government debates what the public wishes them to debate, properly.

Yeah, this is also true, people will choose to debate stupid things. Bah. It's a lot of effort just to be able to smoke my cigarette in a pub.
I suppose you could buy an e-cigarette and go around the law, but that won't get me any closer to smoking my briarwood pipe in a bar. What sort of world is this where a proper gentleman's smoking appliance is deemed too vulgar to be enjoyed in a bar of all places, anyway?

There's a petition to review this smoking ban. Since the new rules where petitions with more than X signatures, if enough people vote, it'll have to be debated in Parliament.
Personally I think this is good for several reasons;
1) The smoking ban hit the pub trade hard.
2) It'll be nice to smoke in pubs again. Beer + Cigs = Win.
3) It covers up the smell of sweaty men and stale beer.
