It's obvious that individual municipalities and businesses will have to be the ones to prohibit smoking in outdoor patios and bars where food is served.

I may be very wrong, but I think smokers are more inclined to be drinkers which brings in a lot of money in the restaurant business. I cannot see many proprietors of food establishments banning smoking on the patios when people are spending money on food and drink.
