Funny thing is, this was Passed by the New Orleans city council, not the distant beaurocrats in DC. The public spoke on this.
Moral is, get over it!! You can just as easily stay home and smoke, or walk outside, just as easy as you can tell nonsmokers to not go.
Fact is, if any smokers decide not to go out to these establishments, the nonsmoking public will more than likely make up for the loss. Just consider the fact that there are far more people that don't smoke than do. I doubt any business is going to suffer for long, if at all.
