Why does it have to be omnipotent? I'm a non-smoker with allergies, probably developed because both my parents where chain-smokers. From my POV it is delightful that there is a smoking ban in public establishment. However, smokers are also members of society, they don't do anything illegal, actually they contribute more to society's coffers than non-smokers. So shouldn't it be possible to have some establishments that cater to the needs of the smoking part of the populace? Maybe with strict requirements on ventilation, filtering of the air etc. Also, the need to clearly state that it is a smoking establishment so that non-smokers can decide whether to enter or not.
In my mind smokers has become the minority that it is accepted to discriminate against. And their own docility, kindled (I just had to use that word) by their bad conscience, brought it on.
