Private businesses should definitely not be forced into a non-smoking policy. Their business, their decision. Conversely, businesses shouldn't be forced into allowing smoke on their property... but then, I don't really hear many calls for that.
Public buildings funded by taxpayer money, that's a bit different. My inclination is to say this: let the taxpayers decide. Put it to a vote. And while I'm the odd case of a non-smoker who enjoys secondhand smoke, I'd probably vote for smoking sections or no smoking at all in such places. Oftentimes, people in public buildings are there by necessity or near-necessity. It's a matter of courtesy.
