AbstractOn 1 July 2007, the UK became the largest population of people, so far, to be affected by a smoking ban when England joined Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in outlawing smoking in all indoor workplaces. The ban comes amidst a raft of other legislation; with the licensing trade still reeling from the 2003 Licensing Act and gambling establishments uncertain of the future heralded by the Gambling Act 2005. While the majority of the UK population thinks that the ban is a good idea, smokers have yet to be convinced and it is their patronage that venues often rely on.
Although still early days, some clear winners and losers are already being seen. Bingo has been hit particularly hard, for example, and it looks as though the industry will be changed irrevocably in the future. On the other hand, venues with a substantial food offer or extensive outside areas appear to be thriving. Unfortunately, summer 2007 was the wettest since 1766, which has added its own problems to the mix, and it is likely to be some time before the true picture is seen. This report provides a snapshot of the industry shortly after the ban went UK-wide and shows how operators are coping with the immediate aftermath.
This report covers three main areas of the leisure industry that are affected by the smoking ban:
- Gambling establishments - bingo halls, casinos and betting shops.
- Pubs - including traditional pubs, bars and wine bars.
- Nightclubs (excluding those that are part of hotels).
It does not cover restaurants, licensed clubs (such as sports, social and members’ clubs), college bars or other leisure venues with a full on-licence.
