A man smoking in a Glasgow pub, Wednesday March 22, 2006. A ban on smoking in enclosed public places in Scotland will come in to effect on Sunday March 26. Scots pub landlords face tough times ahead as they prepare for smoking to be banned in bars and nearly every other indoor workplace this weekend, an Irish licensed trade chief has warned. Tadg O'Sullivan, chief executive of the Vinters' Federation of Ireland, said the two-year-old ban in the Republic had been an "absolute disaster" for publicans, resulting in 600 closures and 12,000 mainly full-time job losses.
