If there weren't any no smoking pubs in your area, how could their trade be affected now they all are  |
I think we may be getting confused about non smoking pubs and pubs with non smoking areas. There were NO entirely non smoking pubs in this area but the one pub we used which did have a non smoking area doesn't seem to have lost trade since it went smoke free on Sunday. As I said though it's still early days.
