.The Vintners Federation of Ireland (VFI), which represents 6,000 publicans, said its members had suffered a 15-20% drop in business since the (smoking) ban came into effect on March 29
I assume the rest of the money (we're charged in ireland) is mainly taxes.
the start of the rot was the Millenium,
Sources within both Guinness and Heineken Ireland mirrored these comments and feedback, indicating that no significant decreases in sales have been recorded since the smoking ban came into law.
Yes, I think the vintners have allowed themselves to be hijacked by BigTobacco. BigTobacco continue to encourage lies and untruths about the Irish Ban (and the NY ban) as part of their on going battle in larger more important markets (ie the UK)
The fall-off in terms of people quitting since the ban might be relatively small now but it means that future generations will be less likely to take up the nasty habit...thus they're probably thinking long-term.
For all their gloss and obvious expense, these campaigns are clearly not connecting with the teenagers. I suggest a photo in Heat magazine of their favourite celeb with smoke in hand is still the most effective message, and the only one likely to get noticed...unfortunately
What is "Big Tobacco"?
what are the lies and untruths about the ban that they are peddling?
three main tobacco companies in this country, sorry, Big Tobacco, are hardly being affected by the smoking ban in the workplace.
