At the risk of repeating myself (again), non-smokers are the majority of the population, and if they are not a majority of pub goers, it is because that group is self-selecting. The non-smokers don't go because it's smoky, but according to the quote posted by Clarie, when smoking bans are introduced, they start to return.
