The Weatherspoon's pubs that I know - Bristol, Putney, Soho, and a few other places around UK do not brew. They grew very quickly and are now so big they dictate to the brewers or change brewers - they also tend to cater for the alkies in the area - captive market.
They only instituted a total smoking ban when it became law - prior to that the bar area was "No Smoking" - certainly the Bristol one outside of the "Corn Market" was.
