The foremost policy of the Publican Party was fighting a smoking ban which came into effect in March 2006.[1][2][3] The party argued for separate smoking rooms,[4] and worked with a campaign to lift the ban on smoking shisha pipes.[2]

Lawson stood for the party in the Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey constituency at the 2005 general election and gained 678 votes (1.5%).[5] The party contested four regional seats in the Scottish Parliament election, 2007, receiving 5,905 votes.[6][7][8] Fraser blamed a lack of financial support from trade associations and brewers for their electoral performance.[9] It was deregistered on November 2007.[10]
