That is already not the case, as I said in answer to OB above. The landlord has no choice but to obey laws outlawing sale of alcohol to under 18s. The landlord has no choice over provision of adequate fire escapes and firefighting equipment. The landlord has no choice but to take out adequate pubilc liability insurance.
There are a whole raft of legal restrictions on what the landlord can do, because the moment they open the doors to the public, it is not simply their house, it is a public house, and the law has a lot to say on matters of pubilc health and safety - which is exactly what the smoking issue is.
