There are not so many pub regulars (I mean every night of the week) who don't smoke, alot of pubs rely on the midweek trade (darts and dominoes etc) to keep their heads above water, and the pub regulars supply this midweek trade. I think that once you can't go out and have a fag with your pint, smokers will drink at home. On top of the ridiculous price of beer I think this is the final nail in the licence trade coffin and more boarded up pubs. As if the pub trade isn't hard enough.
