Two million adults going to pubs less after smoking ban
Two millions adults are going out to pubs and bars less as a result of the smoking ban, according to new research.
The survey of 2,098 adults warned that the “drinking man’s pub” was under threat with 16% of those surveyed admitting to going out less due to the smoking ban.
Mintel says the sample equates to two million of the adult population shunning their local boozer to smoke at home.
“Those that are being worst hit are bingo halls and the smaller independent, more traditional pubs because their customers are amongst those who are most likely to smoke.”
