There have been a few incedents of people sparking up but most just mill about outside very unhappy. Not because they have to smoke outside but because the law says you cant drink on the street so fag no booze booze no fag. There has been a drop in custom even at my local which because it has a beer garden they can drink and smoke there. Will take a month or two for any real effects to register but it aint looking good.
Its not just the pubs clubs cafes etc the bookies have the same problem. Here there is a marked drop as most people treated it like a cinima and stayed untill what they were watching had finished. This ment they might put on an extra bet or 2. Now they just pay and run.
