Re: smoking and the pub
It may even be something as simple as non-smokers not building up a certain level of resistance to the effects of the chemicals in cigarette smoke.
All I can say is a 17% drop is a hell of a lot less people clogging up the hospital wards and the smoking ban is the most radical change in the day to day health of Scots (until a ban on deep-fried pizza comes in) recently I'd be amazed if the two weren't linked.
