Ok, however the context of this thread is the intersection of a multi-national American business with European courts, so basing one's opinion on the German experience exclusively to claim the obvious necessity of regulation is a bit German-centric.
Smoking bans in restaurants and bars have made a significant difference in most states.
If I remember correctly, we had a non-binding agreement between the health ministry and our national restaurant and hotel organisation at first, but this did not change much.
Even most smokers I know agree that the laws were necessary, and that they are thankful for them because otherwise they would not go outside to smoke.
