I think it's been said already, but the original intent was to protect workers, not patrons. I worked in Cupertino CA when early City non-smoking ordinances went into effect. There were large influences from food-service groups and office workers who, pre-ban, were forced to accept 2nd-hand smoke as part of the work environment. I didn't pay attention to statistics but my 18hr deadline days sure went more smoothly after the smoking stopped.
