The point that I am trying to make here is that every non smoker that did sit there (beside the bar) last night (and every night), is going to be annoyed.

WRONG..........I know many non-smokers that have no problem at all.

2 weeks ago we had dinner with friend. There were a total of 5 of us, my husband and I smoke cigarettes, one friend is a cigar smoker, and his son and daughter-in-law are non-smokers. The cigar smoker, who was also the host, asked for a table in non-smoking. His son, the non-smoker said "What are you talking about, Dad?" Dad replied "We'll be here all summer, you're only here for the weekend, I want the 2 of you to be comfortable." Son replied "Dad, we NEVER sit in a non-smoking section, it's full of prissy people." I about busted a gut when he said that. And this is no trailer trash type of guy. He's a 27 yo up and coming corporate executive with an MBA. As is his wife.

The same here, Gabz.  I rarely run into a non-smoker that gripes about smoke and/or smokers.  Friends are friends, and we take each other the way we are.

yeah, we can put up with a lot when it's people we care for, I never complained about my parents smoking either. Doesn't mean we would choose it if it wasn't for them.
