I also have worked in quite a lot of pubs and was working in one when the smoking ban came into effect and after a few weeks of having to stand out in the cold and rain regulars started dissapearing fast.Nothing to do with how much beer costs a regular drinker will find the extra 10p or 20p for a pint its the destruction of our way of doing things that is to blame.
i blame labour for this because they brought the changes about but have no doubt the torys would have done the same and bowed down to the EU if they had been in power.Almost the whole lot of them are spinless gutless hypocryts who say one thing then do another even the ones closest to home who are supposed to be people of the people.

I am a lifelong non smoker and I have to agree that the Smoking Ban has kiulled the pubs. If Pubs were allowed to have a smokers room were they can only light up in there, I'm sure the pubs would have a revival.
