Does YOUR desire not to have your clothes smell like smoke override MY desire to want to smoke?

In direct terms, neither of your desires means squat. It's whether the owner of the restaurant wants to allow smoking that means everything.

In a roundabout way what you want does mean something, in that it will influence various restaurant owners to use their right to dictate smoking or non-smoking to cater to either or both of you.

I do, of course, completely agree with you.

Would that this were so.

In the Peoples' State of New Jersey, it is now against the law to open a restaurant or bar that permits smoking (unless it's part of a casino).
