The owner's rules cannot require that you give up your rights. Otherwise, he can have a rule dissallowing blacks.

Since you agree that the owner cannot set the rules for his business then you must agree that he has no say in whether his establishment is smoking or non-smoking. It is up to society to determine this issue.

Society can only set rules that provide for an orderly and reasonably safe environment (i.e. laws against smoking while fueling your car, yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theather, etc.

When it comes to outlawing smoking in resturaunts and bars and other public places, they have gone too far.
