I am an ex smoker (from the UK) but a "holier than thou one". To my mind the previous set of rules respected the rights of both smokers and non-smokers, and BOTH have rights. In the UK the law is stupid and unfair in that smokers are supposed to stand outside in the rain and the cold to satisfy their desire. The last set of Bulgarian legislation catered for both groups with sealed partitions between smoking and non-smoking areas. What DIDN'T happen was that it was no enforced for a long enough period before everything changed again (to a total ban). Give smokers their own space they have a right to it and service those areas with staff that are either smokers or are prepared to work in a smoking area. That way everyone is happy, the smokers, the non-smokers and the business owners.
