Why do people keep on expecting the government to regulate every little part of their lives? Fuck, are we men or are we children?
Here's the crux of it. Why are most bars smoke filled enviroments if the goverment doesn't otherwise legislate? Because more often than not, heavy drinkers are also smokers. The two go hand in hand.

So in a free market, establishments relying on booze sales for their income are best off to cater towards smokers.

The reason why nobody opens non smoking bars in places where it's legal to smoke in the bars is because it would be empty and likely soon go out of business. If not that, it would at very least be less profitable than a smoking bar.
