In my opinion it wouldn't come as a great surprise

if pubs use it as an excuse to put up drink prices.

Rip-off Britain means that we seem to get a raw deal compared to other European countries-

drink prices, petrol, transport costs, ?30 for a Palace ticket, etc etc

I still think the smoking ban is long overdue, might actually help alot of people give up.
