Surely this would be easier/more reasonable than trying to ban smoking.

Surely you don't really believe that employees of a restaraunt should be at the mercy of their customers who smoke.
On the issue of tobacco companies releasing a "study" showing that second smoke does not cause harmful effects: The tobacco corporations have billions of dollars invested in their crop, of course they will defend their livelyhood. On the other hand, what do scientists have in it for them to declare that smoking is in fact bad for you? Nothing. It would be a better move for them to just agree with the corporations rather than say otherwise, they could probably get a few million out of it. The bottom line comes down to who are you going to believe regarding negative effects of smoking, the multi billion dollar companies themselves or scientists probably on a small government or private grant.
