Yes, the time has come for Dallas to catch up with most of the rest of the US, and most of the developed world and get tobacco smoke out of areas where non-smokers are present. Really the law should ban smoke from all workplaces, without exception. I kind of get a kick out of some posters who still hang onto old tobacco company lies about second hand smoke only smelling bad, but not having any health consequences. If you look at the web page of the world's largest tobacco company, you'll find acknowledgement that second hand smoke does harm non-smokers, and that smoking restrictions are justified. Smoking in public is not a right, and there are still many places to smoke, just not where it will possibly make others ill. I think that by now, most reasonable smokers realize that they should be smoking outside to keep the air clean for others.
