Any place that's open to the public, which would include the places you mention. You can smoke on your private property, and you even can smoke in public view on your private property. But that's the only place it's allowed.
Some bar tried to get around the law by holding a "private party" at their bar on New Year's. You basically had to request a reservation, which they called an "invitation". They then "invited" you to their "private party".
The thing I find funny is that this bar, and the two doofuses I've seen smoking on the street, are complete and absolute morons. This is a new system, and if you're smart you follow the rules and are polite and respectful of everyone. If you decide that you're going to be a dumba** about it, you're going to cause a backlash and the laws are going to get a lot stricter.
