If the above-mentioned bars and restaurants closed due to smoking ban in their jurisdiction why is it that not ALL bars in restaurants on those jurisdictions also closed?

It is really amazing to me how many freepers don't have an economic clue. How about, when a market demand decreases, the market decreases and the remaining demand is met. If all of the dissatisfied non-smokers were already going out to eat and socialize with adult beverages, then this ban is allowing those establishments to maintain their business. The place that had the predominate smoking customer base can no longer afford to stay open. The few customers that will now want to go out, will be supported by less restaurants or bars.

Probably because their clientele were predominantly smokers who do not wish to go where they are forced to feel unwelcome.
