I think it all depends on the kind of establishment you're running.
Upscale bar with vegan menu, attracts health conscious people: nonsmoking probably a good idea and will increase revenue.
Shot-and-beer bar frequented by 60 year old former steelworkers: nonsmoking v. v. bad idea and will decrease revenue.
It's not rocket science to know who your clientele is and what will piss them off. To me, smoking bans in privately owned establishments are the equivalent of saying every restaurant should have the same menu and every jukebox should have the same songs on it.
