You may be right. But then again, the people who would know would be the bar owners themselves, who actually have money riding on the decision. If they could really make more money going smoke free, you can bet they would take the cheaper insurance and toss the ashtrays...
[EDIT]
That didn't come out quite right. What I meant was that if it was, indeed, a better business model to be smoke-free, at least a few of the smoke-free bars would have been paying propositions, and since they would have lower insurance, would be at a competitive advantage, and the rest of the bars would feel pressure to go smokeless as well, just to keep from being driven out of business.
If there were a monetary advantage to a smokeless bar, you wouldn't have to force businesses to go smoke-free -- they would have done it on their own.
