mrdobolina, some of the articles you cited are actual positive towards the ban.
Excerpts from a variety of articles:
"Having a non-smoking establishment is definitely a bonus," said Nic Kelly, an assistant general manager with the Library Bar & Grill. "I don't think it affects our business in a negative light by any means."
"(After the Smoking ban was intituted in 2002) revenue at bars and restaurants serving liquor jumped 17 percent in 2004, compared with 2003 figures, and the numbers are on track to surpass last year's tallies. The number of establishments also soared."
"None of the resturant owners or experts interviewed mentioned the city or county clean indoor air ordinance as a factor in the closings. In fact, the article cites a review by a national restaurant trade publication that states 17 new restuarants had opened in the city since March, about the same as last year."
