"Perhaps the over 10% of the people with respiratory disorders (like mine) may make up for the number who will refuse to go to a bar or restaraunt if they can't smoke at the table. I really do not know. I guess you have to be one of us who currently feel locked out to know that a ban on smoking may not be the same thing as the Nazi oppression some of you seem to think."
You should use your freedom and make the investment to open a smoke free bar or club. If you want to have the experience then take the risk and see if the market exists. Otherwise it is a Nazi move to seize the property rights of the owners of these establishments!

Most places like Sports Bars and Taverns that serve food, have wonderful NON smoking rooms set apart from the smoking areas. Also, today, they install HUGE smoke eaters. You have to LOOK to even SEE if anyone is smoking! Smoke Eaters are wonderful!
There is no reason why non-smokers should be shut out of anywhere with set-ups like the above mentioned.
