Perhaps one way to approach the problem would be to
establish clean-air standards for indoor spaces.
Rather than ban smoking, just establish standards for
pollutants. You can't have more than a set amount of
noxious substances in the air. That way, if
ventilation systems can reduce the danger of smoke to
acceptable levels (assuming there are any), a
restaurant owner could allow smoking if he/she were
willing to provide adequate ventilation.
