First, if the government were truly abdicating all enforcement, you would be required under the law to arrest the owner of the establishment. But they aren't asking that.

If you saw a person dressed in black throwing a stone into a Starbucks window, would you be taking over the government's job by sending the police after him or her? If you didn't, you are allowing the crime of vandalism to occur. By allowing the crime to occur, you are advocating the disobedience of the law.

Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about this?

smoking is not a violent crime. SHS isn't going to kill anyone.
