It should be voluntary. In Ann Arbor and Birmingham they have non-smoking bars/restuarants works out fine. Everybody knows what the protocol is, and is happy.

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."

sorry jmteow, I was working quickly.
You can't really deny that it does close some bars down. Not necessarily trendy dance clubs or restaurants, but blue collar taverns and those sorts of places.

ernie's closed but crack smoke doesn't stink like cigarettes...

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Blue collar and factory bars shut down because their clientele isn't about to go outside to smoke, ...
All so you can go home and not wash your queer diesel jeans 2 days in a row, you selfish fucks.

(Feb 14 06, 14:19)you are the selfish fuck. not only do smokers get cancer from your cigarettes, but also passive smokers and bar workers are getting sick / cancer because of your filthy habbit. there are no issues if you feel you wanna smoke, but just keep it to yourself and dont make the rest of us sick with it.

never realized a night at the pub could cause so much damage, antoine.

this was brought into nz a year os so back, everyone was for it, but then once it came into effect everyone went crazy complaining.. mainly companies due to less business... it is nice though... specifically considering some places are bars/restaurants.... pretty ranx eating dinner with 5 guys smoking next to you..
