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.

But it is a PRIVATE smoking club..... this demonstrates the power and control one must have.
But the reality is that it is a PRIVATE club that caters to the smoking population. You demand we can't smoke in public, so we open private nightclubs to cater to the people who wish to smoke.
Why is that so wrong?
You say "it's in the best interest of public health, why does a non-smoker have to suffer." You people use the excuse over and over... and say it isn't about control but it is. In this hypothetical, you would be paying a club to join only to destroy it because you choose not to believe in it.
THAT IS CONTROL.
That's the same as people joining the NRA and then demanding that handguns cause people to get excessively brave and raise tensions and lead to gunfights, so you don't want shooting ranges at the clubs.
It makes no sense.... it is all about control.
