Smoking Cigars in the UK?

Hey all.
Wife wants to go on vacation this summer, to the UK.. You know, Ireland/england/scottland etc...
And they've passed this idiotic smoking BAN...

What are the real rules? Are there places a guy can have a cigar or 2 along with a pint or 9 of beer?

Basically, if you're indoors you can't smoke; in the open air you can. So be sure to pick a pub with a beer garden on a sunny day!

Sunny day?
England?

If watching Premiership football is any indication, there's only rain, pelting rain, sleet and snow, oh, and more rain.

and they do all this because "second hand smoke"... which CANNOT be proven to be harmful, except by one flawed study that has already been debunked but which continues to be the key weapon in the arms of the "don't smoke" crowd...
