Not necessarily so. Some people can be around just smoke residue and still clog up like a 18" lawn mower in a cow pasture during a rain storm.
The arrogance it takes to resist going outside just because you've been told to do so by the state doesn't justify the physical harm that is done to others who want to enjoy the same public establishments as much as those who smoke.
As far as the owner goes, if he wants to open a private club that allows smoking, I don't think there are any laws prohibiting that, are there? But if he is going to profit from the public he has to take the public's welfare into account when opening up shop, IMO. It's just part of the cost of doing business with the general public. One has responsibilities to others not just his own bank account. That's a virtue that is currently lacking in this country and that is exactly what the hell is wrong with this country.
