I've never seen any change round here when they banned smoking, which i think was a very good thing. In fact i only started going out when smoking was banned. (That didn't really make sence, i never went out when smoking was allowed so i didn't really have much to compare to, but you get what i mean). Me personally, i'm all for stopping the deals where you get two drinks in pubs and bars etc, because that is increasing the alcohol people drink. Putting the price up isn't going to help anything.
