         Probably because smoking is primarily a phenomena of the lower 
social-economic classes.  The more people are poor, less educated, 
unemployed or in unskilled employment, etc., the more likely they are to 
smoke.

So a smoking ban inside businesses is most annoying to those people.  But 
the proponents of this ban are on average more middle-class, more educated, 
etc. compared to smokers.  So I guess you call that elitist.
