I agree with this.
One of the pubs on my old campus became smoke free. As soon as that happened the patronage went waaaaaaaay down. It used to be that this pub was always packed that if you weren't there at 5pm, then you either weren't getting in or you would be waiting for a few hours to get in. Now, they have to have all ages nights and those of age HAVE to wear a wrist band to be served because no one is going to this pub anymore.
Also, because of the no smoking ban, another bar was turned into a coffee house, because no one was going there anymore.
The school voted for this, but now no one is using the bars. This just shows that the vast majority of patrons at these bars were smokers.
