First of all, the way I nomally notice that a restaurant allows smoking is 
when someone next to me lights up.

Better restaurants tend to be non-smoking anyway, but there are two within 
walking distance of my house that used to allow smoking. I don't know if 
they will be necessarily losing profit though; I guess you are assuming 
that the smokers just won't go any more. But where *would* they go? I think 
that if they want to eat out they will still go to restaurants, but smoke 
after they leave, or before they come. And I on the other hand will be more 
likely to frequent those restaurants, along, presumably, with the other 
non-smokers in the neighborhood.
