I've been waiting for someone to approach this issue from the A.D.A. angle. People with severe asthma, or emphysema are unfairly excluded from seeing certain live performances, or eating in some establishments due to the air quality in the building. A reasonable accommodation to these disabled persons, and other people who are sensitive to smoke would seem to be to keep the smoking elsewhere.
Therefore, my compromise is a ban on smoking in venues where they serve food, or hold live performances. Bars where the only attraction is drinking would be excluded. (Of course, state-wide, so it evens the competition between cities.)
