Campbell sees a similar 'not trustworthy' increase of 11 points, and Brown of 10 points.

Potential 1.8 Million Increase In Adults Going To Pubs And Wine Bars More Often After The Smoking Ban
The advent of the smoking ban on 1st July is likely to bring an unexpected increase in custom to pubs and wine bars, according to new research conducted by Ipsos. Publicans should experience a significant increase in business, with 20% of regular or occasional drinkers in pubs / wine bars saying that they would visit pubs more regularly. This view was most strongly held amongst the nearly three quarters of pub goers who are non-smokers, amongst whom 26% said they would probably go to a pub more often. Among the total population, this translates to approximately 1.8m adults in England and Wales (taking into account the difference between those who would go more often and less often).
