Smoking ban in pubs/clubs etc-does this also ban the use of indoor fireworks?

Does the smoking ban in pubs/clubs etc also have a bearing on, and also does it also forbid and ban the use of,hand-held indoor sparklers and indoor firework ice fountains by individuals at New Year's Eve celebrations/birthday parties/anniversaries/weddings etc? I would like to use some indoor sparklers at the Southport Pontins New Year's Eve celebrations this year but I have a feeling this will be forbidden and frowned on;they may point to the smoking ban also being a catch-all situation that will include the use of indoor sparklers and indoor ice fountains, and I guess they would probably say no to these on h&s grounds, what would be the viewpoint on the use of these in pubs clubs etc? With indoor ice fountains you stick them on a cake/dessert or in a cocktail light the top and enjoy 30-60seconds of safe virtually smokeless silver sparkles, and with indoor sparklers you light and hold them at arm's length being very careful to keep them away from people's eyes/faces/clothing and flammable articles and be careful with the spent wires afterwards in how they are disposed of.
