Dallas' Smoking Ban Takes Effect Today

In December new legislation was passed that bans smoking in pool halls and bars, with the exception of cigar shops. So yes, as of today, no more smoke along with that cold delicious beer. Patios and open-air decks will still permit smoking. If no deck is present, smokers will have to be at least 15 feet from the entrance.

All I know is my favorite bar in Dallas, The Grapevine, has an outdoor patio about twice the size as the tiny indoor bar, and a rooftop deck! Suh-weet!
