That's ridiculous and childish.
Some people's entire careers are in pubs and casinos. You don't just easily walk out of your job and get another career in something you don't want to do, just because a portion of the customers selfishly think their "right" to smoke is more important than someone's right to earn a living at the establishment of their choosing.
Enjoying a smoke vs. making money doing something you like to do and making it possible for these establishments to even operate = clear and obvious winner.

I'm a smoker and even I understand this.
