I'm pretty mixed.

I recognize the slippery slope and the infringement on personal liberties.

That being said, I love being able to go out to hear live music or have a drink without having to deal with second hand smoke. As a guy who had a pregnant wife as his designated driver, I really appreciated it.

Fayetteville is pretty much a non-smoking town at this point in time, though the actual ban is only on establishments that have a certain % of their profits from food. 21 and over clubs can still allow smoking.

One major drawback for me is that now anywhere with an outdoor patio for dining is absolutely chock full of smokers. We used to love to dine outside on patios, but now you do so while everyone around you is sucking down cigarettes and blowing smoke in your faces. That sucks when you have kids with allergies.
