No...you couldn't have meant that, surely?
The Irish are very much pro European and have followed the lead from many other European states. The fact that the other member states have better weather and outdoor cafe's where smoking is allowed has less an affect on smokers over there. In Ireland i believe Guinness are blaming losses of sales on the smoking ban.

I'd say that's a fair assumption.
