Fair and just and dream-like: instant recognition by society that there will henceforth be a perfect proportion of smoking to non-smoking bars based on the proportion of smoking to non-smoking people.
Reality without the ban: far, far away from that.
Reality with the ban: much closer to that, swung in the opposite direction from where it was which therefore more closely matches the majority of people who do not smoke.
And as I said, maybe in the future society will be ready to self-regulate itself on this matter. It has not demonstrated that ability, ergo the need for the bans.
When I say "they don't work", that should be automatically understood as an opinion. An opinion which is actually founded on something more concrete than a generic desire for liberty.
