Abstract:
 Public houses all over the UK will be smoke-free by July 2007 following government announcements that England, Wales and Northern Ireland will follow the lead taken by Scotland in banning smoking.

Since March 2006, smoking in public places has been outlawed in Scotland. Most Scottish pubs have experienced a decline in sales, as the majority of regular pub-goers are smokers. However, the impact has not been as bad as once feared, because Scottish pubs are attracting more non-smokers and the outdoor smoking areas, in summer at least, can be sociable for drinkers.

The real benefit of the smoking bans will be to drive up sales of food even further. Since 1990, the share of average pub turnover taken by food and soft drinks has risen from under 10% to nearly 25%.

In 2006, total UK pub turnover was £16.35bn at retail selling prices (rsp), a rise of 1.9% on 2005, but this is likely to decline slightly in the wake of the smoking bans. The number of pubs open has already started to decrease, although this has been a gradual process (from 60,000 in 2004 to 57,500 in 2006), and there has been no shortage of companies (pubcos) prepared to buy up the estates put on the market by brewers, the traditional pub owners.

The largest pubcos are Punch Taverns and Enterprise Inns, with approaching 17,000 pubs between them, although their outlets are typically small, leased pubs. By turnover, the largest company is Mitchells & Butlers (with 1,950 pubs and sales of £1.72bn in 2006), which specialises in owning larger, managed pubs, and has branded chains such as O'Neill's, Harvester and All Bar One. Other major players are JD Wetherspoon, which is familiar on most high streets, and two regional brewers, Marston's and Greene King.

Consumer usage of pubs has not changed dramatically, even since the introduction of the new Licensing Act, which allowed pubs to stay open longer (from November 2005). Generally, the public prefer a traditional type of pub and the threat of `24-hour drinking' never materialised. This suggests that pub usage may again find an equilibrium in the wake of the smoking bans.
