Dallas has a smoking ban too. I'm all for being polite and not forcing non-smokers to breathe your smoke, but what concerns me is that the government at any level in this country feels like it's okay to tell business owners what they can and cannot allow in their establishments. Since smoking is a legal activity, if I own a restaurant, I should be able to decide whether or not my patrons are allowed to smoke. And if I have patrons who are offended by any of the smoking that's going on, then they're welcome to patronize another business.

Another example of the bizarre paternalistic theocracy that's now running this country.
