Smoking bans haven't really hurt businesses economically - there have been positive effects to businesses. Off the top of my head, I think businesses are getting new customers (there are more nonsmokers than smokers in the U.S.). People are more satisfied with the air. Businesses also benefit from healthier employees who use up fewer sick days. Healthier and more satisfied employees lead to lower turnover rates. Also, if people are overall healthier because they smoke less, they are consumers for a longer period of time... I guess I'm biased because I work in public health/health policy -- so I don't think people should be smoking in public anyway. Or smoking at all for that matter! I agree that smoking is often a social event, but it doesn't mean that social norms can't change over time so that smoking no longer becomes an acceptable social event.

It is just as easy to go outside to smoke or away from people (which is even better). This summer I am spending time at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. For a place that stresses health, there is a good bit of smoking outside the buildings. The problem is, walking through a cloud of smoke, whether outside or inside is still being exposed and entirely unpleasant. I think its great that a majority of places are banning it. It is correcting a public health problem (or two) and making it more pleasant to sit and eat or drink.
