Smoking ban good for pubs

The smoking ban is on its way with less than 50 days to go now until 1st July start date in England. And this is going to be great news for business, for many pubs. Cheers indeed!

The Publican tells us that a Deparment of Health survey found that 36% of people cite a smoke-filled atmosphere as the main turn-off for going to a bar or pub. And what's more, 71% of regular pub-goers support the legislation and 76% of the general population see it as having a positive effect on health.

For me, this is a good reason to revisit some of those pubs that I walked out of as soon as I entered due to the smog filling the bars. Roll on 1st July!

Today's participating pub: The Hatton Arms in Gretton, Northants.
Prize offered: Sunday lunch for two.
