I can go to a bar whenever i want and not be subjected to smoke and that's great. It also means that i have to go outside to smoke and that's fine. Call me a control freak if you want, but as far as i'm concerned it's a win-win situation.

How does having establishments that do not allow smoking and others that do, so there is a choice, not empathize with the other guy's position no matter what their position is?
Also, you can go outside to smoke now, but if the majority has their way you may eventually have to go to the next city, county or state.
