The idea that non-smoking pubs will attract more customers is just wishful thinking. A lot of fairly big towns and cities are completely without non-smoking pubs. In those towns, if one pub introduced a no smoking policy it would have a monopoly on the 'smoke-free' market. To say that an all out ban will result in more customers, when even one non-smoking pub is unsustainable is absurd.
