There is little doubt as to the main issue on the minds of licensees across the UK in the spring of 2007: the smoking ban.

While it is a challenge for many marginal, landlocked pubs, the ban represents a new dawn for most of the trade - the smoke of an antiquated era dispersing to reveal potential for greater profits.

The ban begins on July 1 in England, April 2 in Wales and April 30 in Northern Ireland. There is nowhere better to prepare for the ban than Publican Live's Smoking Solutions section.

You will find out what you need to do to plan for the big stub-out, and be able to:

  • Source equipment for outdoor areas from the reputable, high-quality suppliers exhibiting
  • Attend free talks offering information on what your responsibilities are, what opportunities this ban presents and what, in practical terms, you can do to prepare now
  • Look at inspirational case studies that will show you how other pubs are tackling this issue
  • Compare a huge range of the latest innovative smoking solution products, from awnings and jumbrellas to patio heaters.

Fresh Air, Fresh Thinking

The Publican's initiative to help you understand the smoking ban laws and prepare for the big day is gathering momentum. Fresh Air, Fresh Thinking will be represented at Publican Live by a series of free talks by the BII, local planning officers and The Publican's partner, fresh air lobby group AIR.

Outdoor Area

The show's Outdoor Area is part of the Smoking Solutions section. Here you will see a huge range of innovative smoking solution products displayed under one roof.
