I will also add, despite being a non-smoker, I am against banning smoking in pubs. Yes, as a non smoker, it does make you clothes stink, and dries your throat, but I still think its wrong to ban it.
Probably the most vocal supporters were the people buying food in pubs. Its a pub, not a rather restuarant
.
Next, the meal eaters will start complaining that the drinkers are too noisy or something, then they will ban drinking in pubs
Think that is stretching it a bit far? Check that the Government are slowly sowing the seeds of making drinking socially unacceptable - expect this to slowly ramp up, in the same way as smoking. The smoking ban started on health grounds, and NHS costs. Look now, and the Government are keen to quote figures about costs related to drinking.
