No they don't.

If they were serious about stopping smoking they would use the Norwegian approach to drinking. They would increase the tax to the level that makes petrol look cheap. True this would increase cross-channel trade and possibly hit tax revenues but a true non-smoking policy would be aiming for NIL tax revenue from tobacco.
No the real reason for the smoking ban and publicity is very simply one of litigation. If they do nothing to discourage smoking then they would be open to a charge of complicity in damaging peoples health from passive smoking.
It makes me wrech even more now the air is clearer.
Absolutely.
I used to fly in a smoky aircraft. I didn't particularly notice the smell but when I got home and stripped off sweaty, smoke saturated underwear Mrs Wader used to make me strip off in the garage.
The cleaner the air the greater the contrast.
