Why would they be afraid of losing business? The smokers aren't terribly bothered, and the non-smokers are more likely to go to a club that's not filled with smoke. I can't imagine them losing business.
In fact, the whole point of that example was that it was something you could get a club to do on its own, without legislation. Get enough people to petition a club to adopt that policy, and say that a lot of people don't go to the club because they can't stand the smoke, and the club will most likely make the change on its own. Just like a lot of restaurants voluntary make smoking/non-smoking sections.
