Only if the non-smokers are willing to tolerate it. When the non-smokers in this country stopped being willing to tolerate it, it became unprofitable. The restaurants don't magically know when this happens though since it was the social norm for so many decades and their customers just need to let them know. Sadly, instead of simply going to the restaurants and letting them know, they're going to the government instead and just making things worse.
