Smoking Ban in Restaurants/Bars?

I live in NY where there has been a bar on smoking in just about all public places (bars, restaurants, office buildings, etc...). I'm not a smoker, so it was great because despite the fact that most places had set up designated smoking areas the smoke still co-mingled with the rest of the place. Public establishments just want to provide an environment for people that is a little healthier by banning the smoking.
