There are arguments for a public safety risk, but it's not that severe at this point. Right now the government is being overbearing.

The country is gradually becoming more anti-smoker. I'm not sure who will have the bigger pull.

If people are that bothered, they won't go to smoky bars often.

Most restaurants have clear lines of separation for smoking and non-smoking.

Overall, there would not have been a big effect. A few places would have been more affected -- for instance, cigar bars -- but people go to bars regardless.
