I've lived in two cities where smoking has been banned (Boston and Dublin), exactly as chickenfeet2003 says all the doom and gloom sayers came to nothing. Life went on as usual, except I could breathe better when I went out for a drink. Those who wished to smoke just went outside briefly (and believe me, during a Boston winter you've got to be a pretty dedicated smoker to go out in -5C/-10C for a cig).
Smoking in pubs was one of my reservations about moving back to the UK, when I visit London for a weekend and go out with people for a couple of nights I'm coughing my lungs up for most of the rest of the week. Much happier about moving now :)
