Well, the common argument is that pubs rely on their regular drink 'n' smoke clientele for a large part of their business. The problem with that argument is that as has been demonstrated by the pubs that have been non-smoking since before the ban came into force, they find that they sell more food once they do ban smoking. For example, Wetherspoons had an *increase* in turnover of an average 12% in the pubs where they banned smoking themselves.
