If we, as humans, want to live, we have to breathe, drink and eat. We don't have to smoke.
2. That list of bars and restaurants is only showing part of the story. Where's the list of new bars and restaurants opened during the same period? Restaurants and bars in a busy city open and close all the time. And where is the list of closures for the same amount of time previous to the ban for some kind of reference? For all we know, that was a small amount of closures for that stretch of time.
BTW, I'm a smoker, but I don't expose my kids to it anywhere (including my home) and it's nice to know that I can take my kids to a restaurant that won't kill them.
