And interestingly enough, I got more of a "hangover" back then from smoking 20 fags in an evening than if I drank 10 pints. Funny but true.

Im happy to see this, i gave up baccy mid may though i still smoke a joint of green every night.
I drink 7-8 cans and a bit more green but can drink 12 cans and have no hangover since not using tobacco.

It's not the beer giving me a hangover it's the tobacco.
 
I don't really believe that the smoking ban has had a great impact and is responsible for pub closures.

Guess which year the smoking ban came into force.

It is only one factor, I suspect it mostly hastened the decline rather than caused it, but that's my opinion.
Don't think we'll ever know but having said that, the smokers wouldn't be able to afford it in the long run after the tax increases with cheap supermarket alcohol and the new planning rules let alone the recession. All my locals pubs that are doing well are the value for money with foods as well, Wetherspoon, Toby and plenty more others. It's the world we live in now, all things come to end sometime and most people want cheap.
 
The rules on the construction of smokers shelters are absolutely ridiculous...as if one wall missing isn't enough.This is Britain,with our weather the smoke isn't exactly going to hang around is it.The Elf & Safety brigade have poked their noses in one step too far IMO.
