I agree - Grab. Use Google. Check out the following sites for their views.

This one from Money week is pretty impartial.

A quick search though the ASH web site will, not surprisingly, yield you more links to landlords supporting the ban than there are ones against. (NB - This site contains Flash content and may not let you link back - Open it in a seperate window!)

A little bit more surprising is the support it has received from the most sucessful consumer organisation in the world - CAMRA

Finaly, one I would never rely on just on it's own but there are many links to follow. An article in Wikipedia about bans makes some very interesting points about the effects on the licensed trade that seems to deny what is being banded about here.

Happy reading:-)
