As far as I'm concerned, one of the main reasons I don't bother with pubs is that as a wine drinker I can buy a bottle of wine in a supermarket or off-licence for the same price, or less, than a single glass costs in a pub.

Smoking isn't the issue, for me, as a non-smoker I prefer my clothes & hair not stinking from other peoples cigarettes, so I'd have been more likely to go to a pub after the smoking ban - if only the prices of drinks weren't so high.
