B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Truethat could of course be argued, and it does make sense.
However, in that case, what did cause the start of the decline of pubs (the 35 per week on average) at the same time the smoking ban came into place?
The price didn't shoot up, and they became no less attractive overnight for some reason. Short of the ban, I can think of no reason why at the same time as the ban coming in, at least two of the largest chains (the only two I looked up simply because they were the only ones I could think of) had their share price fall drastically - and as yet haven't recovered - and the acceleration of pub closures.
