Yes, but a VFW Hall is basically a bar. If I'm a bar owner and all smokers are kicked out of my bar and head for the VFW Hall, what should I do?

But not all smokers can head for the VFW.

Surrender and go out of business, or fight back any way I can?

You should have fought harder to kill the entire thing in the first place.

One of the vocal opponents to the smoking ban in Delaware was a guy who had gone smoke-free on his own, his bar was doing a booming business and he felt forcing everyone else to do what he did on his own would hurt his business and take away the niche he had created. He was right, the place is no longer in business.

You should have fought harder to kill the entire thing in the first place.

So bad laws only get passed because the people affected by them didn't fight hard enough "in the first place."

And once the bad law is passed those people should just roll over and die?
