It isn't "whether they will have smokers", because they will. 
They already do, even the ones that enforce the No Smoking law. 
It's strictly a matter of whether these smokers will be allowed 
to smoke during the limited time they're there.  Would you 
similarly support the "right" of a business owner to invite 
members of the KKK, complete with hoods and sheets, over in order 
to keep blacks away?  Does a business owner have the "right" to 
build barriers around his/her front door to keep people in 
wheelchairs out?

Please remember that a smoker can abstain from smoking for the 
duration of a meal, but a person with chronic asthma can't stop 
breathing for that period of time.  Putting up a sign saying 
"Come and break the law by smoking here" has a similar effect on 
such a person as one that says, "KKKers, Neo-nazis, and Skinheads 
welcome! Ni**ers stay away!" would have on blacks.  Or is that OK 
with you?
