Similarly your use of it is a nice attempt to leap with enthusiasm on the one case mentioned that fits in with your argument.
Ah yes, but an example nonetheless. can't think of a pub that has closed because it was sold itself as smoking pub. And i wonder what would have happened if the reverse were true. One smoking pub out of 30 non-smoking.

Since none of us know anything about why the Lounge closed I suggest it is misleading to use it in such an argument.
True, but educated guesses nonetheless.

I know a LOT of people who would love to be able to go to genuine non-smoking establishments.
Where were they when the Lounge needed them? (Although I will concede the it may not have been a 'good' pub regardless of the smoking policy)

It's amazing the energy smokers have. you'd have thought we'd have been puffed out long ago
