Is there a money-making opportunity here for someone? Can an establishment "privatize", and allow smoking?

What I envision is a bar/restaurant suddenly becoming a members-only establishment. For a nominal fee ($5 a year?), a person could become a member. The membership agreement would include the fact that smoking would be allowed. Seems to me that such a place would do huge business.

Would a "cigar bar" need to go out of business under this new law?

A restaurant in Fort Wayne, IN charges $1.00 for a lifetime membership in their "club" and gives a $1.00 discount on the first cup of coffee.

They tried that here in Ottawa, got shut down by the court.

but our golf club houses has smoking rooms, as does the elite snob appeal places, some people are more equal than others.
