Well, the nonsmokers are the majority, and in our country we like to pretend that the majority rules, as long as the majority doesn't violate the rights of the minority. Since there is no mention of smoking in the constitution, smoking isn't a right. At least it isn't the kind of right that can't be legally taken away by the majority.
Unless you happen to be rich, the privilege of the few is very often trumped by the desires of the majority.
