While they will have gained a few customers due to the ban, it is a fact that pubs lost customers due to the ban and there should have been some flexibility to allow them to provide smoking areas as long as they were isolated from the main areas as it benefits neither smoking nor non-smoking drinkers if their local ends up closing down.
