Smoking is admittedly bad for personal and secondary health. It tars lungs vital for the delivery of oxygen for bodily functions for a healthy life. It is an addiction to narcotize the mind from thinking too much about the vicissitudes of life. Sometimes in terminal stages, it acts as a trigger to even think about something more calmly. That it is roundly bad and yet ignored by smokers is what moves them to continue. Because they no longer value much of their lives enough to want to conform to some norm set by others.

So, on the balance go ahead with the new rules but allow them to move on in their lives with designated places to continue their way. Nonsmokers needn't have to go near those.
