There is no 'clash'. Private property owners, bar owners, restaraunt owners, store owners, etc. etc. all have the right to decide whether or not they will or will not allow smoking on their property.
Patrons of these establishments also have the right to decide which establisments will enjoy the benefit of their patronage.
The State has no business inserting itself between business owner and prospective patron in this instance. Period.
If you wish to patronize a non smoking establishment, that is your right. Find one and patronize it. If a business owner wishes to cater to smokers, that is their right.
What the anti-freedom (read anti-smokers) want to do is to rob everyone of their God given right of free association and free use of their property as they see fit.

bumping that!
Private property owners, etc., SHOULD have the right to make the smoking/non-smoking decision. Sadly, that right is being denied by many state and city governments.
