I read today that 80% of respondents in the poll (that the top 5 breweries are basing the restrictions on) would prefer a smoke free environment.

Clearly the breweries are expecting a huge upsurge in trade based on this, whereas in reality its the 20% minority that actually go to the pub.

My local recently instigated the 'no smoking at the bar' rule. Since the pub is open plan, based round a large 'U' shaped bar, it has developed into a nonsensical charade wherin they are trying to define abstract spaces as acceptable (or not) in which to have a lit cigarette. (stand behind the line of the wooden floor surround to the bar its OK to smoke?!)
