All Points: Ban smoking in bars?

Billy Bob’s Texas, Fort Worth’s most famous bar/entertainment venue, has banned indoor smoking because of complaints from customers.

Smoking has long been off-limits in the honky-tonk’s showroom, where musicians perform, but the new ban extends the prohibition to the bar and dance floor.

Smoking is allowed on a new outdoor patio.

Billy Bob’s and other bars were major holdouts in 2008 when Fort Worth banned smoking in most public places, including restaurants. Should the city’s smoking ordinance now be extended to cover all bars?
