In the real world, smoking is prohibited in order to protect the health of the general public. Your hypothetical situation is based solely on the exclusion of one class of people, without a feasible reason to do so. Sure, you could probably argue that a non-smoker doesn't have to go to your club, but then why should someone be forced to suffer for someone else's bad habits? A smoker refraining from lighting up for an hour or so won't kill them. The same can't be said for a non-smoker forced to sit around a smoker for an hour.
