A very important part of the unstated reasoning behind smoking bans is to make smoking as uncomfortable,unpleasant, and unattractive as possible. Well-ventilated situations where smokers and non-smokers can happily co-exist would defeat the effectiveness of smoking bans as a tool of social engineering.
Remember the recommendations from Sir George Godber's conference in 1975: for the Antismoking movement to succeed it would be essential to create an atmosphere and belief that secondhand smoke would hurt the infants, children and all people around smokers. Without that fear, and the ostracization it would bring, smokers would continue to insist on their right to enjoy their habit socially and the goal of official denormalization could never occur.
