The UK & Ireland have a Common Travel Area which effectively means that if you enter one, you enter the other.

Despite the claims of the previous poster you WILL pass through immigration at Heathrow even if you stay airside, let alone "popping out for a smoke".

There is no such thing as an EU visa - there is a Schengen Visa but there are countries (eg Norway) that are part of Schengen but not part of the EU and countries (eg UK) that are part of the EU but not part of Schengen.

Oh - US nationals are required to use a US passport to enter and leave the US.
