Public houses are closing at an astonishing rate.The perception is that this is due to the recession,cheap Supermarket Booze etc.In reality it is down to this over zealous law.The Government went too far with the Smoking ban(a snap judgement to pacify middle England),Public houses should have been left to decide their own rules on Smoking.
