The no smoking in bars/pubs/restaurants was the best thing that ever happened. Not sure about the States, but here in Canada this happened sooner than in Germany where I am from and I remember quite a long time ago when it was already forbidden to smoke in restaurants/pubs here that I visited Germany and went for dinner with friends and afterwards I had to completely change my clothing because everything stank of cigarette smoke. When I grew up in Germany you took it for granted, but nowadays it's the most disgusting thing. Of course now that Canada has legalized Marihuana a few years ago you have to deal with that stink which is even worse and while it is of course not allowed to smoke in public indoor places, I have a neighbour who isn't even my direct neighbour, but two houses over and when he lights up his pipe or whatever weed he is smoking I have to go into the house and close the windows because the entire backyard smells like a few skunks had just sprayed everything.

The first major knock was drink driving laws and then more recently no smoking indoors and the tax on alcohol is really high here in the UK so going out for a drink is quite an expensive outing these days. Most out of city pubs survive by serving food. My two main complaints about the Brit coverage of news is one, it is always so negative, and secondly, they have correspondents spouting on for ages giving us their opinion of what has happened and what it is likely to lead to – that isn’t news – that is speculation!
