Michael,
Not very pragmatic. I think we can all aspire to a higher level of debate than this.

I do stay out of smoky bars whenever possible. I also love our local music scene which is all too often restricted to smoky bars. Should I just exclude myself from these places because of offensive and unhealthy second hand smoke?
Why don't you and some friends open a non-smoking music club? If people are that interested in avoiding smoke then you should do very well.
As an alternative, why not consider a boycott? There seem to be many very strongly motivated non-smokers who could help you organize. You could picket local clubs that allow smoking and discourage customers. If there really are so many people who would prefer non-smoking establishments it shouldn't take long before the clubs get the idea and convert.
