I'm fairly happy with the way it's worked out in California. Bars in which all the workers are co-owners can still allow smoking, otherwise, it's illegal. There are certain bars that just break the law, and apparently the fines they pay don't outweigh their increased patronage. Other places provide comfortable outdoor areas for smokers. So there is a maximum amount of choice, from smoke-free to smoke-filled, and waitpeople have the option to work in whichever place their more comfortable.
