So what your saying is there was a big demand for it money to be made and no one did it

there were smoke free pubs before the ban and with a few exceptions they didn't have the volume of trade that the normal pubs did and there was even a report on the bbc just prior to the ban coming in where there had been 3 non smoking pubs in an area of london and two had shut because they didn't do enough trade.

Fact is there was a better solution for both sides then a total ban taking away the freedom of choice from people and when it happens elsewhere in the world we british normally get on our high horse about restrictive governments and as i said pretty soon once they have finished with smoking they will move onto something else. All of this is OT though and we should maybe get back on topic.
