I think you'd have to try to structure it in a similar manner to the bars (AKA "drinking clubs") in Salt Lake City where you pay a "membership fee" (which is really just a cover) to get in and drink. SLC public establishments aren't allowed to serve alcohol (damn Mormons) and that's how the bars there get around that law...they're not "public", they're private clubs.

Maybe it would work. I don't mind the concept because it would definately be an incentive for the owner to eliminate the smoking all together in the long run. I mean, why put up with the hassle of it all?
