How many pubs have closed in UK snce the smoking ban and whichi is blamed onm the Ban

See: www.stony stratford smoking ban

The Littlehampton Gazette newspaper in West Sussex, has published a series of articles about pubs closing down in the town.
It's readers have been writing in blaming the smoking ban.

There is a solution - the Review procedure! We have similar problems in Westminster - so local residents used the Review procedure a couple of weeks ago and I am pleased to report that a raft of conditions were imposed on the offending premises' licence - including restricted off-sales, prohibition of nearly all outside drinking and a clearing of the remaining outdoor area by 9pm on weeknights and 10pm on weekends. So no more crowds outside, smoking or otherwise. For more details please see www.licensingadvice.org/news
