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.
